May 2008

Work has begun on the new £7 million extension to the National Pollen and Aerobiology Research Unit (NPARU) at the University of Worcester

The new two-storey facility will include many innovative features, including a climate-controlled room capable of testing products and the effects of illnesses such as asthma in different environmental conditions.

The building is expected to be completed by autumn 2009.

 

       
 
  The extension will be built where the greenhouses are currently sitting.

 

  So the greenhouses have to go...  
 
      The site is cleared! The brick walls from old animal pens are revealed when the top soil is taken off.  These are from when the University was a college with agricultural courses!
   
  Brick walls are removed and the ground smooth and rolled to produce a hard flat surface.   The holes are dug for the foundations.
