Bristol University Life Sciences Building nears completion
This iconic building, designed by architects Sheppard Robson, will house the School of Biological Sciences and will be split into three zones, including a five-storey laboratory wing complete with new state-of-the-art teaching labs, acoustic chambers, spectroscopy and microscope rooms, a wide range of formal and informal learning spaces, an atrium social space and a new BioSciences library.
A central atrium will provide the focal point, leading to both the laboratory wing and a five-story office wing, which will largely house administration, computer facilities, seminar rooms and a cafe.
Extensive use of anodised aluminium cladding was specified to provide a durable and modern finish to this landmark building.
The project is the University's biggest construction venture to date, and signifies its commitment to biological sciences research. The central location and cutting-edge facilities will enhance collaboration with departments across the University, including the next-door Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information, other science departments and the Medical School.
