Chemistry Teaching and Biology Research Laboratories
diagBox
This project was completed in 2004 and provides new undergraduate Chemistry Teaching Laboratories
and Biology Research Laboratories,
together with ancilary facilities such as specialist plant and insect growth rooms,
Computational Suite and Write up rooms.
The unusual and dynamic nature of the front elevation is a response to the constricted site
and expresses the need to provide large rectangular shaped laboratories
within a triangular envelope.
The building was essentially conceived as a pavilion structure which would respond to and sit behind
the line of beech trees.
The building interior clearly demonstrates the very high levels of services required for a modern laboratory.

"This superb new laboratory facility will substantially enhance the quality of
practical teaching within the Faculty of Science."
Professor Laurie Peter, Head of the Department of Chemistry
