The Schuster Laboratory (also known as the Schuster Building) houses the Department of Physics and Astronomy, part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, at the University of Manchester.[1] It is named after Arthur Schuster and is located in Brunswick Park (formerly Brunswick Street[3]) on the main campus of the university.
The building was designed by Fairhurst, Harry S. & Sons, of the Fairhurst Design Group,[2] and was completed in 1967.[1] The roof of the largest lecture theatre in the building has an abstract sculpture by Michael Piper on it.[4] In 2007, the existing labs and offices were refurbished.[5] The Schuster Annexe, opened by Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, was added in 2018.[6]
