S+B UK are proud to have contributed to the creation of world-class research facilities at Birmingham University’s Molecular Science Building. Our role involved manufacturing and installing cutting-edge laboratory furniture to support the university’s vision of fostering excellence in research and academia.
Working in collaboration with Associated Architects and Morgan Sindall, we provided a range of specialized furniture for this remarkable project. This included our Exemplaire C frame system with Trespa Toplab Plus worktops, reagent shelves, and mobile cabinets, Elevaire suspended service carriers, safety stations and heavy-duty mobile balance benches.
The Molecular Science Building is a sustainable hub designed to offer 3,700m² high quality laboratory spaces while prioritizing energy efficiency. The facility features innovative technologies such as air-source heat pumps, rooftop solar power generation, high-performance thermal design, and LED lighting with smart controls. These elements align with the University of Birmingham’s commitment to sustainability and its ambitious net-zero targets.
The sustainable hub encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge research, reinforcing the university’s reputation as a leader in the chemical, environmental, and biomolecular sciences.
