The Dalton Building at Manchester Metropolitan University officially opened its doors in November 2024, creating a striking new home for the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Designed as a state-of-the-art environment for students and staff, the building is as much about sustainability and longevity as it is about outstanding facilities. At the centre of its striking façade sits Regency Gold anodised aluminium, finished by United Anodisers, bringing both beauty and sustainability to the scheme.
Project Details
The Dalton Building has become a striking new landmark in Manchester with its façade brought to life by its shimmering gold anodised perforated panels. The panels, finished in Regency Gold, showcase the consistency that anodising delivers.
Beyond appearance, anodised aluminium plays an important role in the building’s sustainability. Durable, low-maintenance, and fully recyclable, it supports the environmental goals of the Faculty of Science and Engineering while adding a bold architectural identity.
Inside, the Dalton Building is designed to bring people together, combining social spaces with laboratories, a true example of how anodised finishes can help fuse functionality with design.
Regency Gold
Regency Gold from United Anodisers is a premium anodised aluminium finish known for its bright golden appearance and outstanding durability. On the Dalton Building, it delivers both architectural distinction and lasting performance. The choice of Regency Gold ensures the façade will remain vibrant and reliable for decades, standing as a symbol of sustainable innovation in higher education architecture.
