Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre – Grant Associates

Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre is a scientific observatory and discovery centre at the University of Manchester in Macclesfield, UK. The center houses the Lovell Telescope, one of the largest radio telescopes in the world. It is a global centre for astronomy, research, and science.

Grant Associates worked with Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios to develop the masterplan and concept for new pavilions intended to expand and improve the visitor experience for all age groups. Additionally, the design aimed to communicate the importance and relevance of the history and scientific research that is the mission of Jodrell Bank.

The design had several main focuses including a logical network of paths to encourage a strong connection between the Radio Telescope site and the  adjacent Arboretum. It also included the restoration and enhancement of the existing arboretum.
