The University of Bristol’s (http://www.bristol.ac.uk) striking Life Sciences Building on Tyndall Avenue. The £56.5 million building is the University’s biggest construction project and was opened by Sir David Attenborough in October, 2014. The undulating aluminium wall of the west facing wing (pictured) covers ducts that run down from the plant enclosures on the roof to supply air to the laboratories.

Construction involved some 2000 people, including 28 architects from 10 countries. Project architects were Sheppard Robson and the main contractor was Vinci Construction UK.
