vision for a new academic building in west London specialising in artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Imperial College has started a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/white-city-campus\/future\/public-consultations\/\" class=\"sc-f9178328-0 jZoZnB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">consultation<\/a> on plans for the 12-storey facility, which would include a range of research and laboratory spaces plus public amenities such as caf\u00e9s and exhibition areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">The proposed building is part of <a

City.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">It said the new building would &#8220;create a powerful engine for data science, AI and machine learning by bringing together computer scientists, mathematicians and business experts&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Outline planning permission for the site was granted by Hammersmith and Fulham Council in 2019, paving the way for a number of additional developments including research spaces, homes and a hotel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">The public consultation is to run until 26 October with a planning application expected to be submitted with Hammersmith and Fulham Council later this year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
