As Biomedical Engineering’s Wolfson Building refurbishment comes to an end, take a trip through the building where new facilities designed to enhance the experience of our students and new laboratories focussed on further enhancing our world leading research can be seen.
We look forward to returning to the refurbished Wolfson Building in the spring of 2020.
Come and join us!
