Chips is a nine-storey building and was designed by the architect Will Alsop, founder of Alsop Architects.[1] The structural engineers where Civic Engineers.[2] Tom Bloxham of Urban Splash requested that the building be away from "mundanity", and came up with Chips with Alsop.[3]
In January 2018, Chips failed a Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service risk assessment and the cladding on the building was found to have "non fire retardant" written on it.[4]
