Satellite Facilities

Abstract

Unlike the neighbouring Chemical and Biological Defence Sector at Porton, CAMR is dominated by a single, imposing main building. It may therefore surprise those who are familiar with the site to know that CAMR has over a dozen satellite buildings on the main site alone. The key satellite facilities include the power house, pilot plant, two production buildings and the ‘white hut’ complex. However, there are also the pharmaceutical stores, despatch facilities, a nursery, numerous Portakabins and even a single garage at the fermentation process plant used in recent times to store component parts of a loop fermenter. These have sprung up over the years to satisfy the changing needs of the Centre but, with the notable exception of the Portakabins, do not give the main building site an untidy feel.
