DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE Built on a former brownfield site, the state-of-the-art 9,011 m2 training and research facility, is located within the University’s Jubilee Campus. The project has been part funded with £5 million from D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership and a £1 million contribution from the Wolfson Foundation to provide a state-of-the-art clean room for the investigation of 3D printed pharmaceutical devices. The building adopts low-energy design techniques to create a sustainable solution without compromising the need for an adaptable and pleasant working environment. Low-energy design features include louvers for ventilation, light shelves that allow natural illumination into the building, photovoltaic cells and high-performance insulation for heat and sound.
