The building was opened by <a href="/pages/w/116041425073014">King Edward VII</a> and <a href="/pages/w/143535118993274">Queen Alexandra</a> in 1905, the same year that the University of Sheffield was granted its <a href="/pages/w/110901908961553">royal charter</a> and officially came into being.</p><p>Firth Hall is named after Sheffield steel manufacturer <a href="/pages/w/133835773323916">Mark Firth</a> who played a key role in the University of Sheffield's early development. The building originally housed the University's <a href="/pages/w/106564396046141">Arts</a>, <a href="/pages/w/108196582538810">Science</a> and <a href="/pages/w/108661272491832">Medicine</a> departments.</p><p>The main entrance is on floor C, from this point up there are four complete floors (up to F floor which houses the first of the MBB lecture theatres (F2) and research labs) and then G floor which is divided into several sections (housing the second lecture theatre (G2) and seminar rooms). This gives the five floors sometimes quoted, however the department's <a href="/pages/w/110655745630089">NMR</a> facility extends downwards from floor C and is housed on B (which is ground level at the back of the building), A and a further floor below this which has no official designation. In places the building extends above G floor, these towers do not have official floor letters but extend to what would be I floor. Counted from the bottom of the NMR pit to the highest research laboratory (that of <a href="/pages/w/555460764525990">Prof. Milton Wainwright</a>) Firth court is 10 floors.</p>
