Baddiley-Clark Building
Development of the discipline of bacterial cell biology can be traced back to the early 1990s when a small number of labs began to apply digital fluorescence microscopic imaging methods to bacterial cells. The main drivers were the desire to understand changes that occurred in cells during asymmetric cell division of Caulobacter or B subtilis. Now the methods are being used all over the world and applied to a huge range of organisms and problems.
Bringing together world leading bacterial cell biologists
The Baddiley-Clark Building project brings together a critical mass of world leading bacterial cell biologists. It provides them with state-of-the-art facilities in which to push the boundaries of knowledge. The £18m project was supported by a £6m grant from the Wellcome Trust (the largest such grant it made in the 2008/9 round of funding); the bulk of the funds were provided by Newcastle University.
The building was designed by FaulknerBrown architects and built by BAM Construct Ltd. Dr Richard Daniel was the academic lead driving the detailed designs for overall layout, labs and other facilities.
