Nightingale appointed to
design new research complex
21 November 2006
The council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils (CCLRC) has appointed Nightingale Associates as Architect and Lead Consultant for a new research complex at its Rutherford Appleton Laboratory on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus.
The campus is being developed as a leading global centre for science and innovation, and will become home to some of the world's most prestigious research facilities.
The new complex will provide around 5500sqm of laboratory facilities for both life and physical scientists using the UK’s new synchrotron, the Diamond Light Source, as well as other Government funded world class scientific resources, including ISIS, the neutron spallation source and the Central Laser Facility, both operated by the CCLRC. The new facility will be run by the Medical Research Council (MRC).
The £26.4m funding for the project was announced by Lord Sainsbury in August who said:“The development of a research complex at the Campus demonstrates the Government’s commitment to the site and the world leading science carried out there. These modern facilities will support and continue to attract scientists of world renown”.
The funding for the project is coming from the DTI’s Office of Science and Innovation Large Facilities Capital Fund.
