EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the impressive Glaxo Medical Research Centre in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. The newly completed research facility stands as a testament to the advancements made in medical research during the 1990s. The photograph, taken by Laing in February 1996, showcases the state-of-the-art complex that was published in Laings monthly newsletter Team Spirit just months prior. This copy negative provides a glimpse into the architectural marvel created by Laing-Morrison Knudsen during their joint venture from 1990-1995. The Glaxo Medical Research Centre encompasses various buildings dedicated to different aspects of pharmaceutical research and development. From central plant facilities to administration offices, chemistry labs to microbiology pilot plants, this center is equipped with everything necessary for groundbreaking scientific exploration. Laing Management Ltd played a significant role in bringing this project to life and their involvement is recorded in the negative register as LML Glaxo, Stevenage. The construction of this cutting-edge research station marked an important milestone for both Glaxo Group and the field of medical science. As we admire this remarkable image captured by A© Historic England Archive, we are reminded of the immense impact that such institutions have on society's well-being through their relentless pursuit of knowledge and innovation.
