The new laboratory tower is 42-storys skyscraper at 600ft (182m) height and a gross internal area of 1,350,000sqft (125,000sqm). The tower contains multi-function laboratory and workshop spaces, designed to suit the specific requirements of the occupiers in a well connected, central urban district. The upper levels of the tower contain a mix of offices and smaller, interlinked workshop and studio spaces which are easily reconfigurable to suit the requirements of different teams. The external envelope is composed of interlocking volumes of glazing, reflecting the internal divisions of space and function and providing a variety of areas of light and shade within. Newtecnic is responsible for the complete multi-disciplinary design of the project, including architecture, structural engineering, facade engineering and MEP engineering.
