The Peel Building is a Grade II listed terracotta structure which forms part of the University of Salford. Designed by architect Henry Lord and built in 1896, it was originally the Salford Royal Technical Institute but today houses the School of Environment and Life Sciences. The façade is a stunning combination of terracotta and red Accrington bricks, with intricate sculptures adorning the building. The restoration works are being carried out in two phases with phase 1 now complete and phase 2 underway.
