A partner leading NBBJ’s UK practice, David has more than 30 years of experience helping clients create distinctive, highly purposeful environments for healthcare, science, higher education and commercial markets.
David has led the studio in delivering two of the largest projects to date at both the University of Oxford—the Life and Mind Building for the psychological and biological sciences— and the University of Cambridge—The Ray Dolby Centre, a world-class centre for physics research. The multidisciplinary Life and Mind Building is the UK’s largest lab designed to PassiveHaus principles. His work also encompasses key hospital projects like the NHS’s Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary and Royal Liverpool Hospital.
David believes that planning and design can transform a city and region’s health, wellbeing and capacity for innovation—a belief driving his current work. He is spearheading the design of a series of new gateway buildings at Cambridge Science Park totaling over 600,000 square feet, which are breaking new ground in prioritizing human experience and sustainable design.
A dedicated member of the profession, David is involved with Architects for Health, and has spoken at IHEEM and the European Healthcare Conference.
