Manchester Metropolitan University SODA Façade Lighting
Based in a city famous for innovation and creativity, Manchester Metropolitan University?s purpose built, state of the art School of Digital Arts (SODA) building, designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, embraces the future creative talent in our city. SODA is home to courses that span film, animation, UX, design, photography, sound design, gaming, Al and more.
Designed for the present, but with the ability to adapt to technological advances in the future. Expressing creativity from the exterior, SODA?s four storey digital media façade boldly announces its arrival in the city.
