位于伦敦帝国学院的迈克尔-乌伦爵士中心将研究实验室、办公室和社交空间聚集在一起，供500多名参与开发医疗技术的工程师、临床医生和科学家使用，以改善各种医疗状况的治疗和诊断，从寻找治疗痴呆症的方法到创造仿生肢体。

The Sir Michael Uren Hub at Imperial College London brings together research labs, offices, and social spaces for over 500 engineers, clinicians, and scientists involved in the development of medical technologies to improve the treatment and diagnosis of diverse medical conditions, from finding ways to cure dementia to creating bionic limbs.

作为英国水泥制造领域最重要的创新者之一，迈克尔爵士的遗产可以在这栋建筑的结构中看到。他开发了磨碎的高炉矿渣（GGBS），这是一种制造钢铁的副产品，可以替代混凝土生产中的碳密集型水泥。

我们对南北立面的设计，通过率先在建筑混凝土中使用GGBS，将这位慈善家的工作、减少排放的愿望和我们对白色外观的渴望联系起来。它取代了50%的水泥，减少了外墙的碳足迹。

As one of the UK’s foremost innovators in cement manufacturing, Sir Michael’s legacy can be seen in the very fabric of the building. He developed ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), a by-product of making steel, as a replacement for carbon-intensive cement in concrete production. Our design for the north and south facades connects the work of the benefactor, the aspiration to reduce emissions,s and our desire for a white appearance by pioneering the use of GGBS in architectural concrete. It replaced 50% of cement and reduced the carbon footprint of the facade.
