This new 7,000 square metre building is set within the University of Warwick鈥檚 existing campus topography. It houses two primary research functions with markedly different spatial, servicing and environmental requirements: wet labs, and write up, seminar and other research space.

The architects have therefore designed the building as two sections, with labs and lecture space in an environmentally stable precast concrete frame, and non-technical and sociable spaces within a glulam (glue-laminated timber) and cross laminated timber (CLT) frame. The two elements join seamlessly, echoing the ambition of bringing the uses together to foster collaboration and the breaking down of siloed working habits.

The laboratories are not purely clinical but offer elements of delight, including through their carefully placed vertical windows that provide natural light and also far reaching views with seasonal change. The sociable spaces have a softened feel, with a choice of environments to support learning diversity.
