Parkinson Building

The Parkinson Building is a grade II listed building in Greek Revival style by Thomas Lodge located at the University of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England. The clock tower is the highest point of the building and stands at 57 metres tall, making it the 17th-tallest building in the city of Leeds.

The building is named after Frank Parkinson, a major benefactor to the university, who donated £200,000 towards the cost of the new building. The building construction started in 1938; however, the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 halted building work, with construction resuming and finishing in 1951. The building was officially opened on 9 November 1951 by The Princess Royal, Chancellor of the university from 1951 to 1965.
