Originally the home for Salford Royal Technical Institute it was opened by the then Duke and Duchess of York (latterly [George V](/source/George_V_of_the_United_Kingdom) and [Queen Mary](/source/Mary_of_Teck)) in 1896. The building was renamed Peel Building in 1967 as the Royal College of Advanced Technology (as it had evolved into) was granted university status.[1]
