James Parsons Building
James Parsons Building
This large building accommodates the Faculty of Science & part of the Faculty of Technology & Environment. A refectory and common room are sited within this building.
This University site is located on Byrom Street. It is named after George Byrom, a pavier and builder, who had a yard nearby. The former names 'Towns End' or 'Dog Kennel Lane' were derived from both the name for the end of Dale St, and from the neighbouring kennels of the Corporation supported pack of hounds.
Built in three phases in 1960, 1966 and 1970 the building has been extensively modernised internally. There are well equiped laboratories, I.T suites, lecture theatres, and specialist research facilities. A medical unit is located on the ground floor. The Student Centre ( refectory & bar ) has also been refurbished, as has the Senior Common Room on the first floor.
James Parsons was the last rector of the Liverpool Polytechnic.
