The Devonshire Building is a flagship environmental building for the University of Newcastle and is home to laboratories and office spaces for the University’s multidisciplinary Environmental and e-Science Research Centre.
From the outset of the project it was decided that the building should demonstrate and achieve the highest possible environmental and sustainable design targets. The building has high quality finishes and has an annual energy demand approximately 30% lower than the UK best practice targets at the time of construction in 2004. It was the first university laboratory building to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating.
Designed by members of the team whilst at Dewjo’c Architects.
