History
One of our most visited buildings, this thoroughly refurbished relic from 1912 is home to our Info Centre and features large green clouds of tiles on its facade, earning it the nickname ‘the Brain’.
Originally built for the Singer Sewing Machine company in 1912, the building now boasts large green shapes on the street canopy and along its glass rooftop atrium. The shapes are made of the same Penrose tiling used in the refurbishment of the adjacent Storey Hall.
