MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences

The new headquarters building brings interdisciplinary research groups together, to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of some of the UK’s biggest health challenges.

The London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS) is a biomedical research institute dedicated to advancing the understanding of biology and its application to medicine.

Until now, it has been buried across multiple buildings within the Imperial Campus Hospital Trust, without a front door and with very little opportunity for interaction and collaboration across the different research groups.

B|D Landscape Architects were appointed from concept stage to construction for the landscape proposals to integrate this new building within an existing campus setting with significant constraints.
