Description
|
The University of Warwick's Estate Department says
that this new building, home to the Physics and
Chemistry Departments, combines, "a
striking architectural expression" and
a "high quality sustainable design"
whilst providing the occupants with, "four
floors of laboratory and office space, below
which sits a double height laboratory space
for high spec research instrumentation."
The university website says that the building's
architects met the demanding brief by providing a
facility that supports, " ... the cutting
edge science being carried out within."
"A plaza links at ground level to
the existing principal campus thoroughfare at
the upper levels with a new main entrance,
reception and light, attractive concourse
space which will act as the social hub of the
research building."

This sculpture, outside the building,
is the "Needle of Knowledge Obelisk" created by Stefan
Knapp and donated by Eric and Jean Cass. It
involves fired enamel on sheet metal.
