Oceanlab is an Aberdeen University facility to support research in the deep sea. The two buildings have "living" roofs covered in sedum and provide office and engineering facilities. The team based at Oceanlab fabricate devices that can descend to the bottom of the world's deepest oceans where they carry out cutting edge chemical and biological experiments. The buildings in the background are residential houses.
