The GSK Building presented a challenge: design a pleasant, healthy workplace for scientific research teams and build to the highest environmental and sustainability standards. The result is the GSK Carbon Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry. Built primarily with mass timber, the two-storey building includes teaching and research laboratories, offices, seminars, and a winter garden. With its own photovoltaic plant and energy-efficient infrastructure, it is built to be carbon neutral over its assessed life cycle.
