Sheppard Robson has completed a luminous, glass clad engineering laboratory for the University of Liverpool, a two-storey ‘Active Learning Lab’ with an outer skin of reflective and fritted glass panels that illuminate Liverpool’s skyline.

The Active Learning Lab is part naturally ventilated, floating above the existing 1960’s two-storey podium building below. The lab offers extensive views west towards the city centre, south across to the iconic brutalist Metropolitan Cathedral and north across the University campus.
