OVERVIEW
In late 2016, the Francis Crick Institute was opened by The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. It is the largest biomedical research institute under one roof in Europe, allowing in over 1500 scientists and support staff everyday.
The striking landmark sits next to London’s St Pancras Station, with floor space approaching one million square feet over 12 floors. To achieve an ‘excellent’ BREEAM rating, the Crick was developed minimising environmental impact to be highly sustainable.
Challenge
Designed by HOK and PLP architects, the building is highly complex with a significant specification. To support scientific research goals while promoting public engagement, Francis Crick aimed to encourage interaction between scientists with an open feel layout. With this, it also needed to be accessible for public lectures, exhibitions, and a teaching laboratory therefore posed a high security risk towards entrance control.
