The Roland Levinsky Building is the University of Plymouth's flagship arts, cultural and teaching facility, completed in 2007.

[3] The building is clad with copper sheets in a seamed-cladding technique, is nine storeys high and has 13,000 square metres (140,000 sq ft) of floor space.

[1] The building contains a large four-storey atrium, open-plan studios and office space, as well as a number of specialist teaching laboratories.

[4] It was named in memory of Professor Roland Levinsky,[5] academic researcher in biomedicine and vice-chancellor of the University of Plymouth, who was killed in an accident on New Year's Day 2007 after being touched by a live power cable that fell near his home during a storm.

[9] The design brief for the project called for a building that would give iconic status to the university and prove an inspiring symbol of the artistic and economic regeneration of the region.

[22] The Roland Levinsky Building also houses i-DAT, the university's Open Research Lab for experimentation with creative technology.

A lecturer at the university said that they were told there was a bomb hidden inside a piano in the Levinsky Hall where an event was taking place.
