Arup Architecture is a design-led practice shaping complex life science and research environments through clarity, adaptability and long-term value. Rooted in Arup’s Total Design ethos, the practice brings a multidisciplinary approach to integrate architecture, engineering and advisory insight—delivering buildings that elevate scientific performance, sustainability and sense of place.
Across the UK and internationally, projects such as 1 Triton Square, the Rosalind Franklin Building for AstraZeneca, Northeastern University London and the Wellcome Genome Campus demonstrate a growing portfolio spanning new-build, retrofit and fit-out. At 1 Triton Square, Arup’s original design foresight enabled its transformation into a contemporary life science workplace, illustrating how reuse and circular design can unlock new value while maintaining architectural integrity.
This work is complemented by strategic advisory and campus masterplanning, including for DEFRA’s APHA campus and the Max Planck Institute in Martinsried, shaping long-term frameworks for research environments. Close collaboration with clients, users and stakeholders ensures design is informed by scientific practice and operational needs. Together with deep expertise in laboratory environments and whole-life sustainability, Arup Architecture delivers resilient, adaptable and architecturally expressive buildings—positioning the practice as a benchmark for design excellence in the science and industry sector.
