New Adelphi is the University of Salford’s newest building, and is home to the School of Arts & Media and the New Adelphi Theatre.

The £55m New Adelphi building opened on the main Peel Park campus in September 2016, delivering a new home for music, performance, art, design and architecture students, and providing a rich environment for creativity, arts and culture on campus. It houses the most up to date practice rooms, rehearsal facilities and recording studios that have been judged as the finest in Europe.

Bringing together both development and performance in one highly technical facility, New Adelphi provides inspiring spaces for learning and collaboration, while also offering a venue for a varied cultural programme, for students, staff and the public to enjoy.
