The GlaxoSmithKline Carbon Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry is a chemistry laboratory in Nottingham, England. It is located on the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham, and is part of the university's School of Chemistry. The school carries out research at the carbon neutral laboratory, which is the first of its kind in the UK. The construction was majority funded by GlaxoSmithKline, as part of their commitment to green chemistry first announced in 2010, and saw a grant of £12 million provided to the project.There are five teaching and research laboratories on the first floor, with write-up space for about 100 researchers. The laboratories have been designed to encourage sharing of equipment, in order to be more collaborative than traditional ones. There are also dedicated instrument rooms, including nuclear magnetic resonance, and space to work with schools on outreach activities. The laboratory contains a number of innovations to reduce its environmental impact including a wooden construction, a green roof, solar panels, and extensive use of passive ventilation.
