Chapman Building
The photo shows the exterior of the Chapman Building in 1973, a year after it was built.
Chapman Building was built to provide additional lecture theatres. Significant changes have been made to the building and the surrounding area in the intervening years. The building is named after Sydney Chapman (1888-1970), a geophysicist born in Eccles and former student of the Royal Technical Institute.
