Cambridge Medical School building, Grade II listed university building in Cambridge, England

The Cambridge Medical School building features a stone façade with three stories, shallow bays, rounded pediments, and a rusticated basement along Downing Street.

Edward Schroeder Prior designed the medical school in 1899, receiving 100 guineas for his work, which later became the Zoological Laboratory in 1933.

The building incorporates classical elements and Baroque influences, reflecting the architectural preferences of the committee and nearby structures of that period.

The structure contains laboratories, offices, a lecture theatre, and the Humphry Memorial Museum, with advanced ventilation systems throughout the interior spaces.

The columns display glazed tiles created by Conrad Dressler, while the staircase uses Hopton Wood stone, with minimal moldings to reduce infection risks.
