An Atkins-designed Met Office development has been granted planning permission.
Located at Exeter Science Park, the site features a large IT Hall, which will house a major part of the Met Office’s new £97m supercomputer, and a striking two-storey ‘collaboration’ building which will allow world class research into weather data and climate change.
The design for the collaboration building reflects the patterns on computer circuit boards, with a hexagon outline and non-vertical elevation. Both buildings are designed to be BREEAM Excellent, which is fully in line with the vision set out by Exeter Science Park.
