The architecture projects reshaping Scotland

Scottish Crime Campus by Ryder Architecture and BMJ Architects

The Scottish Crime Campus, which brings together key law enforcement agencies within one facility to promote collaboration and innovation across multi agency services, is a key addition to Scotland's architectural landscape, not simply in terms of its sheer formal bravado. The building is also the first built product of the Scottish Government's new architecture policy. The facades of the £75 million state of the art facility, which provides 25,000 sqm net of high quality office accommodation over four levels for up to 1200 people, are inspired by the DNA double helix converted into a barcode. This motif refers to the forensic work carried out inside and is also reflected in the plan, which features four wings arranged around a central atrium. The Scottish Crime Campus recently won a GO (Government Opportunities) Excellence in Public Procurement Award.
