The Arthur Lewis Building, named after Arthur Lewis is located west of Oxford Road and south of the Manchester Business School, nearly a mile from the centre of Manchester, UK. Construction was completed in 2007, when the building was given a BREEAM 'Very Good' rating.
The building is home to the School of Social Sciences, which comprises the disciplines of Economics, Philosophy, Politics, Social Statistics, Sociology and Social Anthropology, as well as the School of Environment and Development.[1] It also has a small cafeteria, named "Arthur's Brew", which opened on the 17 September 2007.[2]
In early 2008 the building was at the centre of controversy regarding access by students to members of the academic staff accommodated within due to its swipe card policy. This system required taught students to either email their relevant tutor before meeting them, call them internally once at the building, or book an appointment online.[3] In May 2008 the two schools in the building separately revised their access policies to ease access.[4]
