Cheney Biomedical Accelerator
- Works began: 2025
- Works completed: Summer 2025
Brief
Construction work is taking place in the Roger Stevens building to create a space for the Cheney Biomedical Accelerator, a new hub designed to bring scientists and clinicians together to accelerate the translation of knowledge towards the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
The development will create a centre of excellence for biomedical research on campus, making the University of Leeds part of an elite group of international institutions with such research capabilities.

More Information
Construction work includes the partial internal refurbishment of levels five and six in the building – next to the Astbury Biostructure Laboratory – to create a suite of bioimaging laboratories.
Externally, there will be a new entrance for the Cheney laboratories to support a wider vision to create a central courtyard within the area. This also provides a visual signpost for the laboratories and reduces heat loss from the building.
Internally, one of the original TV recording studios will be converted into a suite of six laboratories. Mechanical equipment will be removed to enable a new mezzanine level to be introduced, and a new plant room and collaboration space will be created.
