Edmund Percey

Edmund Charles "Ted" Percey (6 April 1929 – 25 May 2014) was a British architect with Scherrer and Hicks and later a partner in that firm, who was responsible for the design of several notable concrete constructions for the English water industry as well as the brutalist Mathematics Tower for Manchester University.

He did his national service in the Royal Air Force for two years on turning 18 in 1947, much of which he spent playing the piano in the officer's mess at Gloucester and Stanmore.

He studied at the London Polytechnic and qualified as a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
