Aviva Studios, the home of Factory International, is a landmark new cultural space for Manchester and the world.
Built with flexibility in mind, the design of the building is led by Ellen van Loon of the world-leading practice Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). The multi-use space can adapt to host any kind of set-up — from intimate theatre shows and intricate exhibitions, to huge multimedia performances and warehouse-scale gigs fit for the greatest artists of our time.
Its development is led by Manchester City Council, with backing from HM Government and Arts Council England. In 2023, Aviva was announced as naming rights partner to the building, to be known as Aviva Studios.
