The new research building achieves a new ethos of “interdisciplinary working” where the exchange of ideas is promoted in a large collective and connective environment. The new £49m 12,000 sqm facility deliberately challenges public perceptions of the secretive nature of research.

The facilitation of collaborative working was a key theme which has permeated this building design. Replacing an existing building that was no longer fit for purpose, the vision was to simplify circulation through and around the site and encourage interaction and communication between research groups, both within the OMPI building itself and across the cluster of buildings.
