LMB-2 is the replacement for the original Laboratory for Molecular Biology, which had work carried out inside responsible for more Nobel prizes than any other building in the world. The world of science is a far more globally competitive business these days so the new building is unlikely to see quite so much success. But the old building was for many years unsuitable for laboratory work and the new building is a big improvement. The view from the back is equally striking.

The building was supposed to be occupied in 2012, but problems with the building's system software meant it was not ready until February 2013.
