The Arthur Lewis Building, which is named after the economist Arthur Lewis, is part of the University of Manchester's campus. It is located west of Oxford Road and south of the Manchester Business School, nearly a mile from the centre of Manchester, UK. Construction was completed in 2007, when the building was given a BREEAM 'Very Good' rating.{{Citation | url = http://www.morgansindall-sustainability.com/index.php/morgan-sindall-cs/113-new-humanities-building?start=4 | title = Case studies - new humanities building. | work = Best practice | publisher = Morgan Sindall | accessdate = 13 July 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160304001617/http://www.morgansindall-sustainability.com/index.php/morgan-sindall-cs/113-new-humanities-building?start=4 | archive-date = 4 March 2016 | url-status = dead }} "The building has been awarded a BREEAM Very Good rating."
Controversies
In early 2008 the building was at the centre of controversy regarding access by students to members of the academic staff accommodated within due to its swipe card policy. This system required taught students to either email their relevant tutor before meeting them, call them internally once at the building, or book an appointment online.Times Higher, 4 January 2008, [http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=400004§ioncode=26 "Security limits tutor access"] In May 2008 the two schools in the building separately revised their access policies to ease access.Times Higher, 8 May 2008, [http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=401797§ioncode=26 "Academics split over teaching contact hours"]
