Plans to build a new neuroscience research centre have been approved by London Borough of Camden, subject to referral to the Mayor. The new building, known as the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, will be built on the corner of Howland Street and Charlotte Street. Members of Camden’s Development Control Committee voted overwhelmingly in favour of the project at a meeting on 21.07.2011. The Sainsbury Wellcome Centre represents a joint venture between the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Wellcome Trust to establish a new Research Centre in Neural Circuits and Behaviour at University College London.
