The Pears Building is a new state-of-the-art centre for research excellence which includes world-class laboratory space and adaptable, high-quality facilities for patients and visitors.
The building comprises a five-storey exposed concrete frame with a two-storey steel frame above. Concrete was chosen to help achieve the exceptionally tight vibration requirements necessary for world-class laboratory facilities. At the building's centre is a light filled atrium designed to foster interaction amongst the researchers and create a vibrant hub for clinical research. Achieving BREEAM Excellent, the project sensitively responds to the local area.
