Imperial College London Builds Michael Uren Biomedical Engineering Research Hub

Imperial College London began construction in early 2017 on the £70 million Michael Uren Biomedical Engineering Research Hub in London. Designed by Allies & Morrison, the collaborative 14-story building will provide flexible laboratories, an outpatient clinic, an auditorium, and interaction spaces. Located on the White City campus, the 215,000-sf translational research facility will be built to attain BREEAM sustainable design certification and will feature a highly efficient service model with interconnected utility plants on each floor. The project team includes civil engineer Jones Lang LaSalle, mechanical and electrical engineer BuroHappold, structural engineer Curtins, cost consultant Faithful+Gould, and construction manager ISG. Completion is expected in 2019.
