Developers selected. Sadly the bl**dy awful tower block remains - surely at least it will be reclad? I was hoping the original canal basin could have been opened up, at least partially, but much too valuable for that I guess.

Little bit of background to the winning bid by Capital & Centric/Henry Boot, from architects Sixtwo.

aytoun campus

Sixtwo helped developers Capital and Centric and Henry Boot be selected to develop the old MMU Aytoun Street Campus in Manchester City Centre. The scheme involves the refurbishment of the listed Minto & Turner and Minshull House buildings alongside new hotel, commercial and residential developments.

The concept for development is based on a series of linked courtyards, with the largest square proposed as a new leisure destination for Manchester.

As part of the bid, Sixtwo also chaired a workshop with Manchester University as part on an ideas competition.

Welcome to KAMPUS

Aytoun Street campus plans unveiled
Capital & Centric and Henry Boot Developments have submitted a strategic regeneration framework to Manchester City Council outlining their plans for the 450,000 sq ft Aytoun Street Campus site.

The joint venture partners have agreed to purchase seven buildings from Manchester Metropolitan University, which vacated in 2012, on the 2.3-acre site.

The outline plans for the mixed-use development include refurbishing the grade II-listed mills Minto & Turner and Minshulls Mill. They're proposing a number of new buildings and the total project size is set to be around 450,000 sq ft, providing up to 500 new homes and two hotels.

The proposals will create a new city centre leisure hub of bars and restaurants too. The development value for the scheme is estimated to be in excess of £150m.

The new development scheme has been named Kampus.

Little David St? With a new addition in the distance.

The Minto & Turner building and Minshull House are suitable for sensitive conversion to a range of independent uses including workspace, gallery space, some leisure use including bars and restaurants, trading from 19th century listed warehouses, spilling out onto Little David Street.
