The 1200m² of accommodation is set over two storeys, and incorporates a large flume tank for aquatic research and -80K refrigeration for long term experiments. Its aesthetic is strongly generated by the use of high-pressure laminate external cladding and brise soleils.  It achieves a BREEAM “Excellent” rating, reflecting its inherently sustainable purpose.
