‘Super Lab’ complete

A spacious, modern classroom with white tables, blue chairs, and multiple screens, designed for collaborative learning.

We’re proud to announce the completion of the University of Derby’s new Super Lab – a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary learning environment for Biomedical Science students for which Morrison Design were the appointed Architects.

A modern laboratory featuring blue chairs, workbenches with various scientific equipment, and shelves of organised supplies.

What was once office and administrative space has now been transformed into a state-of-the-art laboratory with supporting facilities for both teaching and research. The result is a modern, future-ready environment designed to inspire learning, collaboration, and innovation.

“This has been a fantastic project to be part of, working closely with the University and our project partners to deliver a space that will have real impact for students and staff. The Super Lab is a great example of adaptive reuse and thoughtful design in the education sector.”
Dale Roberts, Associate Director, Morrison Design

A modern laboratory featuring multiple workstations with blue chairs, storage cabinets, and bright lighting.

This project marks another successful collaboration with the university, following previous schemes such as the Molecular Biology Laboratory, the Facility for Omics Research in Metabolism (FORM), and the Performance Analysis Suite.

A huge thank you to the full team who brought this project to life: Seddon (Principal Contractor), CPW & JPR Group (M&E), Simply Labs (Furniture), Rodgers Leask (Structural Engineer), AtkinsRéalis (Project Management) and Hewshott (Audio & Acoustics).

We’re proud to have played a role in shaping the university’s vision for learning and look forward to seeing the space in use by students and staff.
