The Herchel Smith Building was founded in 1984 following a gift to the University from Dr Herchel Smith.

The building was re-opened on the biomedical campus in 2009, after a complete refurbishment, supported by grants from the Medical Research Council and the National Institute of Health Research, Cambridge Comprehensive Biomedical Research Centre. It includes offices, a seminar room, as well as a clinical research facility which supports interdisciplinary collaborations between four key stakeholders in the project, the University Departments of Clinical Neurosciences and Psychiatry, the Behavioural and Clinical Neurosciences Institute, and the Medical Research Council Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, along with their key NHS partners of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust.

The clinical research space includes specialist facilities for EEG, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, cognitive testing and blood sampling.

The building is located in close proximity to clinical research groups on the Forvie Site and Neuroimaging facilities in the Department of Radiology and the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre.
