red-brick
Classic British campus
Red-brick describes British universities founded in the late 19th or early 20th century in industrial cities, as distinct from the ancient universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
The term comes from the Victorian buildings' characteristic construction material.
A red-brick university like Manchester or Birmingham was once considered less prestigious than Oxbridge, though the distinction has faded.
The term sometimes appears as a general adjective for practical, unpretentious institutional buildings.
