Firth Court is the main administrative centre for the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, England, and also houses the Department for Molecular Biology. It is linked, via the Addisson Building to the Alfred Denny Building.
Firth Court stands at the heart of the Sheffield University precinct on Western Bank. The building was opened by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in 1905, the same year that Sheffield University was granted its royal charter and officially came into being.
Firth Hall is named after Sheffield steel manufacturer Mark Firth who played a key role Sheffield University's early development. The building originally housed the University's Arts, Science and Medicine departments.
