BAM Construction has started enabling work this week on a 22€m medical facility in Glasgow to improve treatments for brain, stroke and cardiovascular diseases.
The Imaging Centre of Excellence will be based at the new South Glasgow University and has been supported by 22€m of UK Government funding through the Medical Research Council as part of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley city deal, and is expected to be complete by the end of 2016.
The new five-storey ICE building will house the UK’s first 7 Tesla MRI scanner, allowing scientists to carry out new clinical research.
Anna Dominiczak, vice principal and head of the University of Glasgow’s College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, said: “The creation of an internationally competitive centre located within a university hospital campus, and incorporating NHS, academic and industry partners, will allow Glasgow to support a much greater volume and variety of clinical trials and translational development than currently, including benefits to the associated supply chain.”
