State-of-the-Art Research Facility
Teesside University has added a new BIOS building as an extension to its School of Health & Life Sciences. The focus is on natural sciences and clinical disciplines like anatomy, pharmacy, microbiology, and chemistry. The four-story, 5,000 m² complex includes laboratories, research rooms, medical teaching spaces, and more. The high-quality and flexible construction was designed to require minimal maintenance over its planned lifespan. It’s no surprise, then, that the chosen facade material was concrete skin panels. The glassfibre reinforced concrete elements impressed the architects with their robust, durable, and low-maintenance properties. Photos: Ditz Fejer
