Abstract

The present CAMR building was constructed in the years between 1948 and 1951. Heralded as one of the foremost facilities of its kind in the world, it contained many innovations for its time (for example, few internal walls are load-bearing, to comply with David Henderson’s requirement that internal modifications should be a simple affair) and formed one of the largest brick buildings of the post-war era in Europe.
