The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation dedicated to achieving improvements in health by supporting the brightest minds. The RIBA award-winning building, which features a vast open-plan design around a light-filled atrium, was designed by Hopkins Architects and completed in 2004.
The building will be open to the public on Saturday September 20, 10am-5pm, as part of Open House London 2014. There will be a talk on ‘Bleigiessen’, the 30 metre high sculpture created by Thomas Heatherwick that occupies a vertical void in the north west corner of the building, as well as activities aimed at families including 'create your own London skyline' sessions.
