Built
Designed for Great Ormond Street Hospital and UCL, the 13,000 sqm Zayed Centre for Research is the world’s first purpose built paediatric centre for research and treatment of rare disease.
Designed for Great Ormond Street Hospital and University College London, the Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Disease in Children combines pioneering research with clinical care and is the first purpose-built paediatric centre of its kind in the world. Advancing ground-breaking health outcomes, while championing social value, sustainability and wellbeing, the BREEAM Excellent building proves that achieving high environmental aspirations is possible even for a complex, highly serviced building of this nature.
‘Too often healthcare and science are seen as specialisms disconnected from everyday life and the culture and society they serve. Re-establishing these connections, and celebrating the often-invisible work of researchers and clinicians, is now more important than ever. The Zayed Centre for Research seeks to make these connections visible, engaging health and care as part of our shared urban experience. It places human experience and wellbeing at the heart of the scientific and clinical environment, and fosters collaboration and the exchange of ideas and information in the delivery of ground-breaking treatment and translational research.’
