Six new and repurposed buildings, ranging in height from three to twelve stories, are proposed as part of the massive Whitechapel Road Development in East London. These buildings would house 860,000 square feet of lab, research, and teaching space.
Architects Allies, Morrison, and Gibson Thornley created the campus project, which will renovate a number of dilapidated structures and vacant lots surrounding the Royal London Hospital.
The updated plan calls for additional public facilities including parks, squares, cafés, and communal areas in addition to new business workspaces, life science labs, and higher education facilities.
Barts Health NHS Trust, Queen Mary University London, the Greater London Authority, and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets all endorse the ambitious regeneration plan.
“The Whitechapel Road project will be transformational for the East End bringing extensive new and improved public spaces, a group of contextual and responsible workplace buildings, and an ecosystem of new businesses to supplement the already rich and diverse Whitechapel neighbourhood.”
