City Tower — Local services in Manchester

While the building itself is well-maintained and visually impressive, the treatment of students — especially those from the University of Law (ULaw) — has been disappointing.

City Tower not only denied students access to its second-floor car park, despite ULaw occupying the 8th floor and sharing the second floor structurally, but also placed blanket restrictions on using the 27th/28th floor (the upper lounge/viewing area) due to the alleged noise or “inappropriate behaviour” of a few students.

The city tower is located in the heart of possibilities and...
