Bruce Nepp
Director
Bruce joined Buro Happold in 2022 after the practice acquired Abell Nepp Architects to bolster its laboratory planning and design service offer within the Healthcare, Science and Technology sector.
Bruce has acquired significant expertise in the design of complex facilities for leading research, higher education and healthcare clients in the UK, USA, and EMEA. Prior to co-founding Abell Nepp, he established the UK offices of NBBJ and Anshen Dyer (Stantec) and led their Science and Higher Education studios.
Bruce has been involved in all stages of projects including briefing, feasibility studies, design, laboratory and healthcare planning, delivery and project management. He is ‘hands-on’, often leading the briefing and functional design engagement with the users and the design team.
His success has resulted in repeat work for world-leading academic, institutional, and industry organisations including projects spanning over 15 years on the Wellcome Genome Campus with the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute.
