With the current medical school vacant since having moved to more modern facilities, there is an opportunity to apply a new purpose to the site, and support the development of a world-class clinical life sciences hub at Paddington.  

The proposed building will create a much-needed centre for translational research on the principle of bench to bedside and will include accommodation for clinical trials. It will turn scientific research into real world solutions, from new medicines and diagnostics to biotechnology and health technologies. 

But this project is about more than science, and we are committed to giving back to the local community. We are envisioning active ground floor uses, enhanced public realm, and safer, greener routes between Praed Street and South Wharf Road. The proposals will also create new jobs, training, and investment opportunities, contributing to the wider regeneration of Paddington.
