Background
History
The Modern Architecture building was designed by Norman Thomas of the Percy Thomas Partnership in the late 1950s under the guidance of the university's Principal John Fulton. The building is a large H-plan block projecting wings and a glazed curtain wall of 17 bays to a taller central block, faced mainly in brown brick. The interior main hall was designed by Misha Black. Fulton House is the main focus of academic and social life at Swansea University and it was designed as a meeting place and a social and academic hub. The building was renamed in 1986 in honour of John Fulton.
