CAMPUS / 27
NEWTON BUILDING Newton Building has specialist facilities such as a wind tunnel, flight simulators, robotics labs, anechoic chamber and Octave - our virtual reality space. Opposite Newton is Cockcroft, home to our Bodmer teaching laboratory for students studying one of our science and environment-based courses, and the world’s only fully climate-controlled Energy House.
NEW ADELPHI
ANECHOIC CHAMBER One of a select few found in the world, and regarded as the quietest place in the north-west, our anechoic chamber provides students, researchers and industry partners with a unique acoustic environment. With no audio reflections, this room is ideal for testing microphones, musical equipment and quiet products. Once you enter the chamber and close the doors, it’s said you can hear your blood circulating!
Our New Adelphi Building is the home of creativity on campus. It’s where you’ll find our music, performance, dance, fashion, art and design and architecture students, and a rich environment to stimulate and inspire creative minds. At New Adelphi, the facilities are of professional-standard and mirror those that you’ll use in your future careers.
ART AND DESIGN Our specialist workshops include traditional model-making facilities, advanced CNC machines (3D printers, laser cutters and milling) and a printing lab with a huge selection of specialist equipment, including screen printers, lithotables, fabric printers, etching presses and felt looms. For photographers, we have seven fully-equipped professional studios, complete with lighting equipment, a darkroom, the latest cameras and accessories, and large-format digital printers. There are plenty of social spaces, with a gallery area, large lobby for exhibitions, and a café and bar with spectacular views from its roof terrace.
