The building is seven storeys high and its hyperbolic paraboloid frame continues on the exterior, hence the toast rack comparison. Although the building's unorthodox form is playful, its tapering shape also helps to divide space into varying sizes for larger and smaller classes. A semi-circular restaurant block is attached to the west and is informally known as the "Fried Egg". Manchester Metropolitan University left their Hollings campus in 2013 as they consolidated their facilities towards the city centre.[4] The building was then put up for sale,[5] being bought by developers for £4,000,000 in 2014.[6] There are plans to redevelop the building with flats, a leisure centre and a rooftop garden.[7] See also{{portal|Greater Manchester}}
