Description
|
New Hunt’s
House is a building on King's College -
Guy's Campus. Designed by Dyer (in
association with AnshenDyer), it was
part of the UK’s largest ever university PFI
scheme. The architect's website says that it
was, "... Purpose-built for the study
of molecular biology..." and
that it, "... contains 23,000m2 of
teaching, research and support
facilities, including an Information
Services Centre for the entire school of
Biomedical & Health Sciences."
"Set on a narrow plot, it has been
sensitively designed so that its massing
and cladding respond to adjacent
properties. It is accessible and highly
flexible in plan, with services collated
into cores at the periphery. The roof
level is articulated in a series of
towers. New Hunt’s House is equipped to
the highest ICT standards. Facilities
include specialist ACDP Class 3
laboratories, flexible laboratories,
teaching and research suites, lecture
theatres, an electron microscopy centre,
library (ISC), conference suite and
administration facilities."
