AstraZeneca Discovery Centre (DISC) key facts

Home to more than 2,000 researchers and scientists working across all our therapy areas and drug discovery platforms.
Our scientists work across three floors of 16 interconnected labs with 54,000 sq.m of floor space incorporating 18,000+ items of scientific equipment.
More than 130 active collaborations underway, including 165 PhD and 45 Post Doc programmes and 20 active grants.
Officially opened in 2021 with King Charles III formerly known as The Prince of Wales.
Designed by Herzog & de Meuron – who also designed the Tate Modern in London, UK and the Beijing Olympic Stadium (known as The Birds Nest)
The courtyard sculpture is an expression of proteins in a metal form and is shaped like The DISC – designed by well-known sculptor Matthew Lane Sanderson.
The DISC has been awarded BREEAM excellent rating and was awarded Gold Lab status in 2023 by My Green Lab, a non-profit environmental organisation with a mission to build a global culture of sustainability in science.
The DISC is made of steel, glass, concrete and wood – all of which were sustainably sourced.
The DISC consumes 50% less heat, 40% less light and 35% less water than a typical laboratory building.
It has cut water use by 65%, saving 25 litres per person per day, or 22 million litres a year – the equivalent of nine Olympic-sized swimming pools.
There are 20,000 plants, including a living wall, which contains 17,000 plants from 18 species, across 360sq.m, as well as 123 trees and large feature shrubs.
Home of the Science in Pictures artwork including over 1,000 pieces of individual artwork created by local school children and participants in STEM partner outreach sessions.
