Bristol Veterinary School is getting a new, state of the art, teaching building at Langford. The new building will have two floors designed specifically for case-based, tutor-facilitated, small-group teaching and learning.

The building will be constructed with a cross-laminated timber frame and will feature a south-facing glazed wall. The design will incorporate skylights to maximize natural light within the building. Energy for the facility will be supplied through photovoltaic panels, which will charge a battery system. This energy will also power air source heat pumps, contributing to the building's high energy efficiency.

To enhance the overall teaching complex at the south end of the campus, a new green space will be created at the front of the building, serving as a focal point for the School's activities.

Construction of the building will start in the autumn of 2023, with expected completion date in December 2024.
