The five-storey glass-fronted building provides of research space. This includes of class
100 and class 1000 clean rooms, one of which occupies the entire lower ground floor (in order to minimise vibrations) The outside of the building consists of a composite cladding, with an external stainless steel 'veil'. remaining open until 1868 when it was used as an extension to the Manchester Southern Hospital for Women and Children. The building was demolished in the 1960s, and the site was used for the construction of the Lamb Building. The excavations that took place in February 2013 by
Oxford Archaeology North, prior to the construction of the institute, uncovered the remnants of the club building along with a row of five cellars belonging to 1830s
terraced housing. A sink removed from the site has been incorporated into the institute's new building.The stone sink was plumbed in with both cold feed supply and waste pipework by A .Armstrong of Balfour Beatty who completed both the mechanical and Electrical installations throughout the new build of NGI As the main clean room of the new building is now located below ground level, the remains of the Albert Club were not conserved. ==Gallery==
