Faculty of Biological Sciences – Refurbishment

  • Work begins: December 2018
  • Work completed: April 2021
  • Cost: £31m
  • Contractor: Overbury

Brief: 

The University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences occupies five buildings on the University’s main campus and in order to meet demand for growth in staff and student numbers additional space is required.

This project delivers additional space by providing a modular teaching building and refurbishing approximately 8,500 square metres of space within primarily the Garstang building (Grade II listed) and the connected Astbury building to a higher spatial efficiency than achieved presently.

The investment and improvements continue driving forward the growth of research income and creates a new flexible model for open laboratory and office environments, facilitating collaborative working.
