Work is underway to convert Manchester’s iconic Cornerhouse building into the temporary home of Manchester Metropolitan University’s (MMU) School of Theatre.
Preston-based architectural and planning consultancy, Cassidy + Ashton, has designed the refurbishment scheme and successfully secured change of use planning consent for the new MMU facility, which will also be used as teaching/seminar space for other subject groups.
The move follows MMU’s decision to rent the building while its existing Mabel Tylecote Building is demolished and redeveloped.
