The Arts Tower is a building in Sheffield, England that is part of the University of Sheffield. At 255 feet (78 m) tall it is the tallest building in the city, just slightly taller than the 250 foot (76 m) Royal Hallamshire Hospital nearby. It is also the tallest university building in the UK.
Designed by architects Gollins, Melvin, Ward & Partners, construction of the tower started in 1961 and lasted four years. The design was inspired by the Seagram Building in New York City, although the Arts Tower is roughly half the size. Entry to the building was originally made by a wide 'bridge' between fountains over a shallow pool area in front of the building. This pool was eventually drained and covered over when it was found that strong down drafts of wind hitting the building on gusty days caused the fountain to soak people entering and exiting the building. An alternative design for a rotunda-styled cylindrical building was thrown out when suitable curved furnishings were costed.
The building was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother in 1965, it has 20 stories and a mezzanine level above ground. Circulation is through two ordinary lifts and a paternoster lift, one of only a few in the country (source: wikipedia)

It rained most of the day but I did manage to get outside and snap a couple of pictures. I also spent some time playing with photoshop and made one of my pictures look like a drawing
