RExif II* ( 1 5 2 ; M i f The £152 million Life and Mind Building (LaMB) is a new build research facility for the University of Oxford, and will be a new world class home for life sciences. Billed as the ‘largest building project ever undertaken’ by the university it will house it’s departments of zoology, plant sciences and experimental psychology and provide space for 800 students and 1,200 researchers. The building will also be home to a new institute for antimicrobial research. Designed to be welcoming, people will enter the building via an external plaza, known as the “Scoop” This public realm area has extensive planting and landscaping with terraced steps leading pedestrians down to the basement level where the main entrance is located. Opening out into a large atrium and up through the floor levels to a top floor eatery area, views into and across the ground floor can be enjoyed. The atrium separates what is a large building into two smaller volumes in keeping with the local context, linking two main blocks, one an adaptable laboratory wing and the other providing office accommodation. The atrium can also be used for events. Seven lecture theatres make up the basement area. Client: Legal & General / Oxford University Development Ltd / University of Oxford. Architect: NBBJ.
