Exploded Paradigm unveiled
Phase Two of The Laboratory was completed in time for the 2016 Founder’s Day, but during its construction artwork on the hoardings surrounding the building site has become very familiar.

As well as being home to Shackleton’s famous boat, the James Caird, The Laboratory now houses Exploded Paradigm, made by the artist Conrad Shawcross in collaboration with pupils from the Art and Science societies (an article about its creation appeared in The Alleynian 703).
