MSA Squared
In October 2006 The MSA were pleased to announce the historic amalgamation of the MSA (Manchester Society of Architects) and the MSA (Manchester School of Architecture) to form a new and closer partnership between the architectural practices and the school.... "MSA Squared".
We believe that the students early awareness of the MSA and the RIBA would be mutually beneficial to the students, the MSA and the RIBA and all the local architectural practices. The intention is to ease the students transition to the real world of the office/practice situation by introducing the students to the practice environment and day to day operations as early as possible in their education. This will also benefit the practices as it will produce a more aware and experienced 'year out' student in the office.
A major promotional party to celebrate this historic collaboration was held on 5th October 2006.
We already have the backing of some of the major practices of Manchester.... This initiative has been sponsored generously by the following architectural practices:
