The building was designed by HDR CUH2A and will be shaped to resemble a pair of chromosomes, and is due for completion in 2011.
The building is aiming for a BREEAM Very Good rating, and will feature modular lab spaces with cascade ventilation systems for economic running costs and naturally ventilated offices using stack effect ventilation through ventilation towers.
