University of Sheffield gains planning permission for £12 million
motor neurone disease research laboratories as designed by Bond Bryan
Architects
The University of Sheffield has today received planning permission
from Sheffield City Council for a new research facility designed by
Bond Bryan Architects.

The £12 million 2,800 m² facility will house The Sheffield
Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN), a world-leading
team researching a cure for motor neurone disease.
Bond Bryan's associate director, Jason Clark, says: "The two-storey
SITraN building will look like no other major research facility. It
will feature natural materials such as timber and stone as well as
utilising a pallet of colours found in nature.
"The design has been put together in sympathy with its challenging
site. It is a Conservation Area and sits amongst residential buildings
too, so - following the university's brief, we have designed a building
with a natural softness, not with the cold inorganic design often
seen in laboratories."
Though the building is two storeys it will appear to be single-storey
as it is built into the landscape and entry is gained via the upper
floor. A lightweight single storey pavilion will sit on top of the
lower section housing the laboratories.
Several major sustainable features have been designed into the building,
including a green roof as well as large overhangs to reduce glare
and solar gain.
