The new School of Public Health building at Imperial College London's White City Campus was opened by Professor Sir Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer for England. The celebration saw distinguished guests rubbing shoulders with Imperial's senior leadership, staff and students. Dame Marit Mohn and Community Jameel gave generous contributions towards the building's design and construction, and Dame Marit attended the event along with George Richards, Director of Community Jameel, as well as policymakers and local community leaders. The new building is a hive of flexible spaces where academics, collaborators, students and the local community can create ambitious ideas together. Set in Imperial's thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem at the rapidly expanding White City Innovation District , the School will support modern advances in genomics, data sciences, community engagement and educational facilities.
