The £21 million medical school building will comprise: lecture theatres; laboratories; clinical and prosection anatomy suites, equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic tools; and a science library. Mock consultation rooms in the clinical suite will allow students to experience real life situations encountered by those in the medical profession, using the latest technology.
Perfect Circle – a consortium comprising of Pick Everard, Gleeds and AECOM – is delivering project management, cost management, BREEAM consultancy services and design services for the scheme. The provision of these services has been enabled by the Scape National Built Environment Consultancy Services (BECS) framework.

Victoria Brambini, managing director of Perfect Circle, said: "This new facility marks a significant step-change in the provision of state-of-the-art training for the next generation of medical professionals. As well as inspiring future medical professionals, this exciting development will support the government's efforts to address the NHS' skills shortage. The medical school will play an important role in driving the local economy and will transform the campus."
Mark Robinson, Scape Group chief executive, added: "Our BECS framework has been designed to accelerate and optimise the provision of consultancy services for exciting schemes such as this and I am delighted to see UoL engaging with Perfect Circle on this important project.
"Our health service is arguably our nation's greatest achievement and this modern medical training facility will help create the additional skills to ensure that our NHS remains fighting fit for the future."
