The Linnaeus building, completed in 2011, houses state-of-the art laboratory facilities with associated office space.

The building was purpose built to support the full range of molecular and cell biology carried out in the School and accommodates the majority of staff and students in the School's Division of Biomedical Science and Biochemistry and Division of Plant Sciences.

The Linnaeus building houses a wide range of general and specialist research equipment, a large area dedicated to plant growth facilities, and cell culture laboratories that support work in parasitology, virology, immunology and cancer biology.
