Informatics Forum, University research building in Central Area campus, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The Informatics Forum spans multiple floors and contains research institutes focused on artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, and systems biology research.
The construction of this academic facility began in October 2005 following a successful fundraising campaign that generated 42 million pounds from public sources.
The building integrates scientific art throughout its spaces, including Eduardo Paolozzi's Turing prints displayed in the dedicated Turing Room.
The ground floor features multiple event spaces, including a conference room that accommodates 180 people, an atrium for networking, and a commercial kitchen.
This structure earned recognition as Scotland's first building to receive an excellent BREEAM rating for its environmental performance and sustainable design features.
