BIOS is a high-quality, state-of-the-art science facility at the heart of Teesside University’s Middlesbrough campus.
Supporting the University’s thriving School of Health & Life Sciences, the new building consolidates multiple departments across campus into a four-storey building of cutting-edge lab space for subjects including anatomy, imaging, microbiology, chemistry, earth sciences and food science with state-of-the-art health teaching facilities including OSCE suites, operating theatres and immersive suites.
