The building is easily recognisable for those entering the city by rail, sitting within the ‘knowledge district’ in Birmingham’s Eastside and home to more than 5,000 students.

Completed in May 2016, The Joseph Priestley Building formed the first commercial phase of the Aukett Swanke designed Eastside Locks master plan. The site is located in the ‘Knowledge District’ of Birmingham’s Eastside.

The material choice offers a variety of textures which respond to the site’s quality of light- contributing significantly to the quality of its immediate urban environment and setting the standard for the wider Eastside Locks master plan, due to complete in 2026.
