An interesting feature of the present wave of redevelopment is the tendency for comparatively new buildings to succumb to demolition.  St John's College buildings, subsequently part of MANCAT, were similar to many from the 1950s and 60s.

A new MANCAT campus has been built in Openshaw, but the college retains a presence here in a new building on Quay St.
