Trent Building

The Trent Building serves as one of the main administrative buildings of the University of Nottingham, England. It also contains academic facilities, principally for the Arts and Social Sciences.

London architect Morley Horder created the Trent Building in the classical architectural style. The building is topped by a campanile (clock tower), and built of Portland stone, it is a protected as a Swarovski grade II listed building. King George V and Queen Mary presided at the building's opening in 1928, and the building's Great Hall has hosted many distinguished visitors, including Albert Einstein and Mahatma Gandhi.

Many more valuable or high-estimated pieces of collection can be stowed away either, as in a building site, in the cellar in cardboards or be beautifully presented in collectors cases, curio cabinets, collectors cabinets and display showcases and in such a way decorating our homes.

The writer D H Lawrence described the building as looking like an 'iced cake'.
