The building sits at the centre of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, and is a celebrating of glazing but also sawtooth facades to bring light deep into the communal laboratory spaces. With the Royal Papworth and Addenbrooke’s Hospitals very close by, there is every chance that the cross-disciplinary cross-fertilisation between healthcare and research will be enhanced hugely by this new building with materiality at its core.
Cleverly, Herzog and de Meuron have ameliorated the vast mass of this structure with both curved facades responding to the site, and a trick of appearing to suspend them above the ground on a set of glazed boxes.

We take a look at how other materials – zinc, composite cladding and modern fl ooring materials, make key contributions to education facilities. In our feature on zinc, Jonathan Lowy describes how the material is providing a sleek fi nishing touch to many new education campuses and healthcare facilities, with strong functional, durability and recyclability credentials.

Zinc is now even recognised by UNESCO, with Paris’ zinc roofers’ long-established technological knowhow being offi cially registered as ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’ in 2024. This may sound slightly ephemeral, but it raises the profi le of the material and the craftsmanship behind its installation far beyond its spiritual home of France.
I recently had Jonathan as a guest on our Building Insights podcast, where he also gave an intriguing explanation of the crucial need to achieve ‘performance specifi cation’ – which sets out exactly what is required of a product, so that suppliers can deliver. Check it out at

FROM THE EDITOR
T
his supplement focuses on celebrating design in healthcare and education, but also schemes which combine the two. These are often projects which truly harness the benefi ts of thoughtful space planning but also materiality, for clinicians, patients, students, teaching professionals and researchers.
Healthcare has long been very closely related to education, expressed most explicitly in the case of major teaching hospitals, where researchers can work alongside clinical teams to develop new approaches to our evolving healthcare needs.
There is a key example of the intersection between leading-edge research and healthcare in the rounded triangular form of the DISC, AstraZeneca’s new research headquarters designed by Herzog and de Meuron, and our project report in this supplement.
