Alan Gilbert Learning Commons, University of Manchester

hm44 and 93 collections

Project

The new public study space, which links the Library, Learning Commons and the administrative heart of the campus at The University of Manchester, has been designed to give students a focal point for learning, offering a stimulating and comfortable 24/7 environment for study. Boasting more than 1000 flexible study spaces, The Alan Gilbert Learning Commons provides an inspiring range of equipment and furnishings for individual and group study.

Installed within these spaces are Alexander Taylor’s hm44 chair upholstered in Kvadrat Hallingdal and Sir David Chipperfield’s hm93 modular seating with special power and data units, all upholstered in Camira Sting and Craggan Plus.
