The buildings were originally constructed in two phases using a pre-cast concrete frame. They have multiple levels stepping up an inclined site. The combined area of the two buildings is 20,000sqm. Within this are a mixture of highly serviced laboratories, specialist research facilities, workshops, teaching & study areas, breakout spaces, offices and administration facilities. Under a separate project, major internal remodeling is taking place in the buildings, to incorporate cutting edge research operations across a number of academic disciplines; the University wish to similarly rejuvenate the exterior of the building with a significant level of re-cladding. This project is to provide a high-quality external appearance, befitting the prominence of the building itself and of the research it will house. Some areas of the existing elevations will remain exposed: the brickwork to these areas is to be cleaned, repaired and re-pointed as necessary as part of the works, and all windows and doors will be replaced.
