University is optimistic that the damage was not too serious but the biomedical sciences building isn’t expected to fully reopen for a year
Research teams at the University of St Andrew’s that have had their work disrupted by a fire have been moved by offers of help from colleagues in the UK and around the world. Last month’s fire at the biomedical sciences building displaced research groups and put many labs out of action. However, researchers are hopeful that most of the equipment and lab supplies were left undamaged and can eventually be recovered.
