This project was the final part of the large-scale revitalisation of the Cambridge Science Park, a commercial space designed to facilitate and encourage the growth of high-tech and life science companies by students and graduates.
An opportunity to regenerate vital facilities for world-class scientists and entrepreneurs, this was the final piece of the Cambridge Science Park regeneration scheme.
We were chosen to oversee this large-scale project because of our in-depth knowledge of the science and technology sector, as well as its ongoing collaboration with Trinity College.
In addition to facilitating communication between Trinity College and new owners Tsinghua University, we managed the construction process and found tenants for all the new buildings. The client’s primary objective was to remove existing, dated buildings and replace them with state-of-the-art facilities for the scientific community; it was imperative for them to be as sustainable and efficient as possible.
The project was completed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, which presented unparalleled challenges to the team. However, despite this, the project was successfully delivered without any delay or increase in associated costs.
The exceptional new buildings achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating, are 90% efficient, and the science park now offers a dedicated pedestrian and cycle area. The facilities provide a much-needed innovation hub for scientists and graduates, and successfully generated income for Trinity College.
