Institute of Health & Wellbeing

The Institute for Health and Wellbeing at University of Glasgow creates, develops and disseminates ground-breaking research on disease prevention, improving health & wellbeing and reducing health inequalities locally, nationally and globally. The New building brings five, formerly remote, research groups together in a single location for the first time, transforming the Institutes ability to develop interdisciplinary research and outreach. The building creates meaningful street level space for public engagement and connects these interactions spatially to the impactful work of the Institutes upper levels. The building design amplifies the spirit of the Institute and delivers a wellbeing focused, articulated workspace rich in sustainable and environmental responses. Natural daylight and ventilation are optimized in pursuit of a human centered response to workspace in the city.
