The Rowett Institute

The extra money was donated by Dr John Quiller Rowett, a businessman and director of a wine and spirits merchants in London.

After some further tests on other groups, a bill was passed in the House of Commons enabling local authorities in Scotland to provide cheap or free milk to all school children.

War broke out just after the study was completed in 1939, but the results of the Carnegie survey were crucial to help implement a wartime food policy.

In March 2016, the institute relocated to a purpose-built building at the university's Medical School campus at Foresterhill, Aberdeen.

The new building won both Project of the Year, and Public Realm / Landscape in the 2017 annual design awards by the Aberdeen Society of Architects.
