A new £45 million building, which will help secure Scotland's future as a world leader in medicine and biological sciences, was officially opened by First Minister Alex Salmond.

The University of St Andrews’ new Medical and Biological Sciences Building brings together the medical school (relocated from the Bute Building), biologists, physicists and chemists, while also linking to the School of Physics and Astronomy via a first-floor bridge – making it one of the first medical schools in the UK to fully integrate research facilities across the sciences.
