Waterhouse
Now home to our fashion and textile studios, this Gothic former grammar school is one of the oldest buildings on our campus, dating back to 1877. It was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, best known for designing London's Natural History Museum and Manchester Town Hall. The rooms have been reorganised to suit classes and practical workshops, but the quirky doors and corridors remain part of its charm.
