When the Royal College of Pathologists wanted to open up its activities and promote awareness of pathology it turned to AVM to overhaul its Education Centre and bolster information dissemination.

The Royal College of Pathologists has overhauled its teaching facilities, creating a new Education Centre in its central London headquarters.

One of the main aims when establishing the Centre was to promote information sharing, not just throughout the building but into the public domain as well.
