The Blizard Building is a building in Whitechapel in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It houses the Blizard Institute, formerly known as the Blizard Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, part of Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.

The building is named after William Blizard, who founded the London Hospital Medical College in 1785.[1]

History

The building, designed by Will Alsop, was commissioned in Autumn 2000, and built by AMEC. Construction began in November 2003, and was completed in March 2005, at a cost of £45 million. It was officially opened in October 2005 by HRH The Princess Royal.[2][3]

Design

The design uses colour and unusual forms. Within the glass pavilion are three suspended 'pods', housing meeting spaces, a small lecture theatre and an education centre.

The main lecture theatre has 400 seats and is almost entirely green with a few red chairs spotted around to suggest poppies in a meadow.[4] Bruce McLean's designs are featured in coloured glass panels.

The building won the Civic Trust award 2006 and the RIBA regional award (London) 2006.
