Outstanding Sustainable Laboratories
BMJ completed work on the £10.5million BMS Annex at the University of St. Andrews to create new laboratory space for the Sciences Department of the University.
The functional brief was driven by the scientific vision to create new academic positions that promote interaction between research groups within the building. 132 research staff are accommodated in open CL2 labs with secondary specialist accommodation such as imaging labs, equipment rooms and a CL3 suite.
