The Toast Rack, or the Hollings Building by its official name, is a Modernist building completed in 1960 as the Domestic Trades College, which became part of Manchester Polytechnic, then Manchester Metropolitan University until closure of the "Hollings Campus" in 2013.  It was designed by the city architect, Leonard Cecil Howitt and is known as the Toast Rack due to its distinctive form (reflecting its use as a catering college).  A semi-circular restaurant block is attached to the west and is informally known as the Fried Egg.  The Grade II listed building was sold to a property developer in 2014.
