Halliday Meecham Architects

The Central Science Laboratories at Keele University provide a central teaching laboratory facility on the main campus to extend science based facilities for Physics and Electronics, Wet and Dry Chemistry Labs and a Computer Science Labs as part of a £30M investment in STEM bases facilities.

Halliday Meecham Architects were commissioned to design the new building on a constrained existing site within the heart of the rural Keele Campus. The principle accommodation is arranged vertically across 4 ‘open plan’ floors connected by a glazed atrium space which offers visitors and students views into the labs.

The team are working collaboratively to deliver the project to BIM Level II with HMA providing a lead role in BIM Coordination.
