To reposition the park as a leading global technology hub, the Phase 1 redevelopment forms a series of new buildings developed on the southern fringes of the Park to attract S &T research clients.
‘The design strategy behind the masterplan was to envisage a series of exceptional quality buildings to act as a catalyst for future development in the park. The group of buildings hold a common language of elegant simplicity in a beautifully landscaped public realm where vehicles are hidden for people to experience and collaborate in a relaxed setting. The architectural design picks up on the sylvan landscape context by assimilating a rhythm of vertical elements across the façades in different ways. This makes each building uniquely distinctive yet with a shared identity. This is typified with the new addition of Plots 1 and 2 joined together by a sweeping colonnade bringing a key statement to the entrance of the park. The buildings have been configured to maximise flexible work and research spaces. The Cambridge Bio innovation Centre with it’s Flex lab approach has multiple size and form possibilities to allow adaptability between labs and office to address developing trends of its tenants and will be inspirational for future science buildings.’
