The Henry Royce Institute is an institute at the University of Manchester.
The nine-storey building will be 46 metres (151 ft) high, making it the tallest current building on the campus (although the Mathematics Tower was taller before its demolition). It will have 16,000 square feet (1,500 m2) of space. It will be located next to the Alan Turing Building, close to the National Graphene Institute as well as the School of Physics and Astronomy, the School of Chemistry, and the Manchester Engineering Campus Development.
The building will cost £150 million, and will open in 2019. Planning permission was granted in February 2017. It was originally going to be constructed on the site of the BBC's New Broadcasting House, but the site was changed to the main campus of the university.
The institute is a hub and spoke collaboration between the University of Manchester (the hub), Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, Imperial College London, National Nuclear Laboratory, University of Cambridge, University of Leeds, University of Liverpool, University of Oxford and the University of Sheffield.
The cost of the institution, including the building, is £235 million.
