Blizard Building

The Blizard Building is a building in Whitechapel in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It was designed by Will Alsop and completed in March 2005. It houses the Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, part of Barts and The London, Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry.

The building is very identifiably an Alsop creation, making use of colour and unusual forms. Within the glass pavilion are four suspended 'pods', housing meeting spaces, a small lecture theatre and an education centre. The main lecture theatre is almost entirely green with a few red chairs spotted around to suggest poppies in a meadow.

The building won the Civic Trust award 2006 and the RIBA regional award (London) 2006.
