The University of Birmingham is investing in a new Molecular Sciences building, which will provide a designated hub for the School of Chemistry along with facilities for the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences (GEES).
Morgan Sindall has awarded Drywall Contracts Limited the steel framing systems works at this flagship six-storey building. Due for completion in 2024, the £45 million scheme is the first stage of a multi-phased master plan that will provide further academic accommodation in the coming years. Facilitating greater collaborative working, the building will be a showcase for innovation and research at Birmingham University and a place to connect that research to education.
Professor Rachel O'Reilly, Head of School of Chemistry, said: "The Molecular Sciences building will strengthen our core research capabilities in the chemical, environmental and biomolecular sciences, fostering an environment for carrying out world-class research. This vibrant, inclusive workplace with state-of-the-art facilities will attract talent from the broadest pool. We look forward to working in our flexible space that will allow greater staff, student and external stakeholder interaction.
