Paul OGorman Building by Grimshaw, London, UK
THE UCL CANCER INSTITUTE: PAUL OGORMAN BUILDING

The UCL Cancer Institute: Paul OGorman Building officially opens
on 18th September. The second of three buildings Grimshaw is designing
for UCL, the Institute will provide state-of-the-art laboratory space
for 350 scientists, at the heart of one of the largest biomedical
facilities in Europe. Internally, the layout follows a new approach
to the design of research laboratories by separating the practical
laboratory from the write-up area to create a distinct space for analysing
and sharing information.
Grimshaws design links a Grade II listed building housing
the Graduate Medical School - with the high specification new build
Institute. The main entrance is located at the juncture between the
two and glazed with a single glass sheet. This sheer span reveals
a highly engineered staircase that provides the main circulation core
and an architectural focal point. The transparency of this circulation
area articulates it as an open, shared space that is visually accessible
from the street. As the Director of
the Institute, Professor Chris Boshoff commented; This building
does something exciting by opening up an often opaque and private
area of study.
