Eli Lilly laboratory expansion, England

RMJM was appointed by Eli Lilly in September 2001 to design the first phase of the company's expansion to their UK research campus. This represented a strategic development for the Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company aimed at strengthening its research capability in the UK and Europe.

Sited in a mature parkland setting, the project involved the extension of on–site research facilities; the rationalising of infrastructure, materials handling, site circulation and car parking; and major redevelopment of the site's landscaping. The new laboratories, predominantly arranged in two levels, are designed to reflect and re-interpret the calm orderliness of the existing 1960's research accommodation.

The landscape proposals deal with protected wildlife habitats and rare tree specimens, as well as additional protection to the established woodland fringe.
