One of London's leading universities has set out its vision for a new academic building in west London specialising in artificial intelligence.
Imperial College has started a consultation on plans for the 12-storey facility, which would include a range of research and laboratory spaces plus public amenities such as cafés and exhibition areas.
The proposed building is part of Imperial's wider masterplan for its campus in White City.
It said the new building would "create a powerful engine for data science, AI and machine learning by bringing together computer scientists, mathematicians and business experts".
Outline planning permission for the site was granted by Hammersmith and Fulham Council in 2019, paving the way for a number of additional developments including research spaces, homes and a hotel.
