The Hollings Building, or the Toast Rack Manchester as it was nicknamed, was designed by Leonard Cecil Howitt and completed in 1960. The Toast Rack building is a standout example of mid-20th-century modernist architecture. It was originally home to Hollings College, which focused on domestic science and catering. Its unique hyperbolic paraboloid frame earned it the name "The Toast Rack". The design emphasises functionality, with large windows flooding the interior with natural light, ideal for its original educational purposes.

A symbol of post-war optimism and innovation, the Hollings Building Manchester has become an iconic landmark. The Toast Rack remains a beloved piece of Manchester’s architectural heritage, blending 1960s modernist style with contemporary relevance.

Address: Toast Rack, Old Hall Lane, Manchester, M14 6HQ, England.
