The three sites each incorporate teaching space, lecture theatres, administrative accommodation and 24-hour computer and IT facilities. Research laboratories and clinical teaching facilities are also situated at the Plymouth and Truro sites.
Hoare Lea provided detailed guidance regarding the sustainable brief. This had a large influence on the buildings form and design. Innovative fenestration and brise soleil designed to allow both user and automatic operation of high- and low-level glazing gives efficient natural ventilation. An exposed concrete mass aids night-time cooling and provides damping of extraneous heat gain. Displacement ventilation provides improved air quality and energy efficiency.
