Location

The building is situated within the university's Old Aberdeen campus on a site adjacent to the Sir Duncan Rice Library and the Fraser Noble Building.[1]

The building was designed by Reiach and Hall Architects and is being built at a cost of £35 million.[2] The building will contain laboratories for students studying various subjects.[3]
