With design led by Ellen van Loon of the world-leading practice Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), Factory International will be a 13,350-sq-metre canvas for the world’s greatest artists and Manchester’s rising stars.

More than a building, Factory International is also the new home of Manchester International Festival (MIF), the festival of brand new artistic work, established in 2007 and known world-over.

The people at Factory International bring our work to life – from delivering our ambitious festival programme to making sure our building is accessible to all, touring our work around the world, reaching out to Manchester’s many communities and keeping everything running day-to-day.
