The Common Cold Unit (CCU) or Common Cold Research Unit (CCRU) was a unit of the British Medical Research Council which undertook laboratory and epidemiological research on the common cold between 1946 and 1989 and produced 1,006 papers. The Common cold Unit studied etiology, epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of common colds. It was set up on the site of the Harvard Hospital, a former military hospital at Harnham Down near Salisbury in Wiltshire. Common colds account for a third of all acute respiratory infections and the economic costs are substantial in terms of sick leave. Thirty volunteers were required every fortnight during trial periods. The unit advertised in newspapers and magazines for volunteers, who were paid a small amount. A stay at the unit was presented in these advertisements as an unusual holiday opportunity. The volunteers were infected with preparations of cold viruses and typically stayed for ten days. They were housed in small groups of two or three, with each group strictly isolated from the others during the course of the stay. Volunteers were allowed to go out for walks in the countryside south of Salisbury, but residential areas were out of bounds. Human coronaviruses, which are responsible for about 10% of common colds, were first isolated from volunteers at the unit in 1965. The CCU continually recruited volunteers for research into the common cold until its closure in 1990. The final director was David Tyrrell, whose autobiography describes his work at the CCU from 1957. The CCU was sometimes confused with the Microbiological Research Establishment at nearby Porton Down, a military unit with which it occasionally collaborated but was not officially connected.

The hospital, opened at Harnham Hill, near Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, in 1941, came into being as result of the desire of Harvard University and it's Medical community to provide direct-support to the medical community and people of the United Kingdom. 1941 was to be the end of the "Phoney War"; and, for the United States, the beginning of the Second World War. Harvard University and the American Red Cross supplied medical experts to the United Kingdom to share their expertise in communicable / infectious diseases; and, to help protect the public against the spead of diseases arising from aerial bombardment of British cities. The hospital, designed and built in the American as a "flat pack" field hospital, performed three different major functions in its, almost, fifty-year-life as a medical facility. The first was an emergency infectious diseases field hospital managed by the US Red Cross and staffed by volunteer medical, nursing and non-medical staff from Harvard University and the American Red Cross. The second was: a United States Army hospital in southern England with a central infectious diseases laboratory; and a central base for the US Army for taking, storing and distributing blood for American troops fighting in Europe. When the US Army left, the hospital's owners, Harvard University and the American Red Cross, gifted it to the UK's Ministry of Health. Its final and longest function, from 1946 until its closure in the late 1980s, was to house the Common Cold Unit.
