RK labs was built in 1994 as a dedicated chemistry lab with some supporting offices. The chemistry lab has since been converted into a biolab and the building was recently upgraded to energy efficient status.
RX was built in 2000 as a chemistry and analytical lab. It has a separate wing of supporting offices. The chemistry labs have since been converted into biolabs. It was recently upgraded to make it an energy efficient building.
RE 600 was built in 1938 as a pharmacology building. It has been upgraded a number of times since then and now houses the Screening Centre, which includes robot-operated equipment and other sophisticated technology.
RA is the newest building at Pivot Park and the second BENG building on the site. Its eight floors include a terrace and multiple shared spaces. Approximately 30% of the building is office space with the remaining 70% housing biological , analytical and chemical laboratories, including ML1 and ML2 laboratories.
RZ is a five-floor showcase for best practice in sustainable building techniques. The first BENG building at Pivot Park, the high-quality design includes the use of rainwater infiltration technology, roof-mounted PV panels, heat pumps and optimised insulation.
Curie is the latest accommodation addition to Pivot Park, but growing demand means we are already planning for the future. This includes building an eight-floor ‘hothouse’ for multiple large and small pharmaceutical companies in which labs and offices can be configured as desired. A further plan is to renovate a current building to create a three-floor incubator and ‘breeding ground’ for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical start-ups.
