Manchester Civil Justice Center

Constructed between 2003 and 2007, the western side of the 250 ft. (80 m.), 17 story building is currently the joint 6th tallest building in the city center. Designed by Australian architects Denton Corker Marshall with engineers Mott MacDonald. The building is notable for the 'fingers' at each end that are cantilevered over the lower levels.

On the western side is an 11,000 sq. m. suspended glass wall, the largest in Europe, and much of the building is covered in aluminum cladding. It is the first major complex of its sort in Britain since George Edmund Street's Royal Courts of Justice in London's Strand, completed in 1882. The same design team are currently in the process of designing a sister court building in Birmingham, England, known as Birmingham Magistrates' Court.
