Mathematical Institute

Mathematics flourishes through dialogue between people, through the exchange of research ideas, through the teaching of the next generation of mathematicians and through reaching out to the public.

The Mathematical Institute will move from three separate locations into a single dedicated facility, and will be one of the first buildings on the ROQ site.

It will provide workspace for a diverse community of more than 500 mathematical researchers and support staff, including faculty, research fellows and postgraduate students. It will also be a centre for the academic life of approximately 900 undergraduates.

The building will provide more than 300 offices in a range of sizes, identifiable space for graduate taught course students and 4th year undergraduate students working on projects, an extensive suite of teaching and seminar spaces as well as a range of meeting rooms, breakout spaces and a large departmental common room.

The Institute building has been designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects and is being constructed by Laing O'Rourke and is due to be occupied from September 2013.

Good progress is being made on the site. For the latest detail please see the Mathematical Department's webpages

Construction work is taking place between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday, but there will be some traffic entering the site earlier in the morning in order to avoid causing congestion during rush hour. From time time there will also be work on Saturday mornings between 8am and 1pm.

Between 9 and 11 January two cranes were delivered to the site. One of the cranes overhangs Woodstock Road but there will be no lifting activity outside the boundaries of the ROQ site.
