The Cardiovascular Research Centre will comprise a Basement Floor, a Clinical Research Facility on the Ground Floor, two laboratory floors, a Resource Unit on the top floor with a Roof Plant Room.
The Biomedical Research Centre will comprise a Basement Plant Room Floor, and five laboratory floors

All Laboratory floors are arranged with flexible open plan laboratories on one side, a central core of shared specialist laboratories, with offices and Writing Rooms along the other side entered from the main communication corridor.
