New Cancer Research Facility, Beatson Institute, Glasgow
The clients brief for the Beatson Cancer Facility was to create a world-class research environment, and notwithstanding some difficulties during the build, the architects have delivered a stunning building which is deceptively simplistic but technically highly complex.
The new building accommodates seminar rooms, a lecture theatre, social areas and laboratories with supports spaces for 250 staff. It floats within a walled garden surrounded by the mature grounds of the Garscube Estate on the outskirts of Glasgow.
