Description
|
| The University
says of the new Earth Sciences Building that
it, "will provide the
Department of Earth Sciences with
up-to-date facilities, including
laboratory and office space."
Wilkinson Eyre, the architects of this new
£28million building, add that, "The most striking element of the
building is a ‘narrative wall’, which will
act as a shop front for the activities and
ideas of the department. The building is
structured around a simple relationship
diagram which summarises the organisation
of the spaces within. The ground floor
space is focussed on outreach, with the
more public areas of the building such as
the library, foyer and display spaces
close by. Write-up spaces are separated
from the main laboratory areas, while
generous circulation provides for
interaction as users move around the
building." |
