Stanton Williams has been selected to design the new Fleming Centre following a competitive RIBA process. The research and public engagement facility will be built on the St Mary’s Hospital campus and will be a key asset to the Paddington Life Sciences campus. Stanton Williams’ concept design for the Centre embraces the heritage of its proposed location on the site of The Bays. These former industrial warehouses, dating back to around 1850, were originally used for transport and distribution before being incorporated into the hospital in 1983. The next phase of the project will involve detailed design development, public consultations, and the submission of a planning application in collaboration with Westminster City Council. The Fleming Centre is part of the wider Fleming Initiative, established jointly by Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Imperial College London to find solutions to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at a global scale.
