VMZINC engraved façade for Cambridge University research centre

The BREEAM Excellent-rated, £26m Maxwell Centre at the University of Cambridge was designed by BDP as a centrepiece for research and industrial partnerships in the physical sciences. Located on the West Cambridge science campus, it has a flat lock and standing seam VMZINC façade in a mix of dark ANTHRA-ZINC® and AZENGAR, a newly developed engraved finish. Bringing together Cambridge’s unique strengths in physics, materials science and engineering it will pioneer new, interdisciplinary approaches to fundamental science. The 5,000m² building will house around 230 people and is next to the Physics of Medicine building which has a flat lock ANTHRA-ZINC PLUS façade.
