Reviews of Firth Court
"There is no other building in Sheffield so beautiful as this one. It is not even my department, yet still I admire its architecture both inside and out."
"Nice building. Nice exterior. I am a uni student so I have used this building for exams and it's a pleasant building"
"We came here to see an orchestra the other year and we should be coming to see another later this month. Firth Hall is a beautiful arena for such an event."
"Firth Court is the poster boy of the University of Sheffield and the home of the Department of Microbiology and Biotechnology. The Edwardian red brick building was built in 1905, designed by Sheffield architect Edward Mitchel Gibbs. It was the first purpose-built building for the new university in Sheffield. Originally known as the Western Bank Building, it was opened by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. The original library building, dating from 1959 now bears this name. The name comes from Mark Firth; mayor, master cutler and steel manufacturer. Firth played a key role in the establishment of the university. The quadrangle is a key feature of Firth Court. The building is a bit of a labyrinth, linked to the more modern Florey Building and Alfred Denny via the Perak Teaching Labs."
"Beautiful building, especially during spring and fall."
