Science & Technology
Laboratories, research campuses and life sciences facilities. Why they are among the most technical buildings to design, and who is hiring.
Knowledge
Working in science and technology.
Science and technology architecture covers the buildings discovery happens in: laboratories, research campuses and life sciences facilities. These are among the most serviced and regulated buildings an architect can design.
Containment levels, vibration limits and air handling shape the architecture from the inside out, and the sector rewards designers who enjoy that rigour. With life sciences investment concentrated around Oxford, Cambridge and London, demand for experienced lab designers comfortably outstrips supply.
This hub gathers the live picture for science and technology work: who is hiring, which practices are growing their science teams, and the conversations shaping the sector right now.
- The building is equipment
Laboratories are machines for research: containment, vibration and servicing drive every decision.
- It is a growth market
Life sciences growth around Oxford, Cambridge and London keeps specialist teams busy.
- Specialists are rare
Few practices can design labs well, so experienced science designers are prized.
