Iconic building in the university. Visited the hall during graduation, I cried a river witnessing enthusiastic young students celebrate their achievement in engineering, science or whatever fields. The hall is small but so elegant.
A grand and fitting place to celebrate the graduation of students. The large mid-century organ being played on arrival of the guests was lovely to hear.
One of the best campuses I’ve come across. Really good classrooms. They have amazing combination of heritage and contemporary architecture which is really rare to find. I am felling really proud to graduate from such a prestigious university.
A most magnificent building for holding Graduations for the students of Manchester.
Beautiful building, also lots of events going on and lot of student being introduced on they first day..
Had my PhD graduation ceremony in this hall. It was an amazing once in a lifetime experience!
I love Whitworth Hall. It smells of knowledge. Had to be quiet as exams are happening all over campus. When I was a child my favourite place was the museum. Very different to the way it is laid out now. We could cross the archway into Whitworth Hall. Spent many hours creating stories and a little bit of chaos. Take the opportunity to have a nosey it is worth it.
The Whitworth Hall on Oxford Road and Burlington Street in Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester, England, is part of the University of Manchester. It has been listed Grade II* since 18 December 1963. The Gothic revival hall lies at the south-east range of the Old Quadrangle of the University, with the Manchester Museum adjoined to the north, and the former Christie Library connected to the west. It was constructed c. 1895–1902, and was designed by Paul Waterhouse. The official opening ceremony took place 12 March 1902, when the Prince and Princess of Wales later King George V and Queen Mary were present. Whitworth Hall is named after Mancunian industrialist, Sir Joseph Whitworth, who bequeathed much of his fortune to fund public developments in Manchester. The legatees, among whom was Richard Copley Christie, funded the building of the hall and the adjoining Christie Library the library was completed first and opened in 1898. The hall is constructed of sandstone, with red tiled roofs in fishscale bands, and is connected to the Manchester Museum to the north via a 2-storey entrance archway. The hall has two unequal storeys, consisting of 8 bays separated by buttresses. It has a large perpendicular style stained glass window facing south. Two 3-stage corner towers flank the window, with octagonal belfries and short spires. Whitworth Hall can hold up to 675 people for meetings, up to 300 people for banquets or up to 200 for dinner dances. There are five boardrooms and a council chamber on the lower floor of the building, whilst the hall proper is on the upper floor. The interior of the hall is also Gothic in construction and decoration, in keeping with the exterior. It has a hammerbeam roof, a dais and a large organ occupy the northernmost part of the hall, and raised wooden galleries project from both northern and southern walls.[4] The hall is licensed for civil weddings, and is used for all graduation ceremonies at the University. The organ was donated by Mrs. Enriqueta Rylands in 1902.
I love to visit Walid Daqqa Hall
