Detailed information

The Life Sciences Building at the University of Bristol isn’t just a research hub—it’s a place designed to connect people. With flowing aluminium forms wrapping cutting-edge labs, traditional Bath stone nodding to the past, and a bright atrium at its core, it blends old and new to spark curiosity and collaboration. A RAICO steel curtain wall with structural glazing keeps the whole thing light-filled and high-performance—just like the science happening inside.
