LOW-DENSITY DESIGN

A comprehensive design code has been put in place to ensure the campus blends seamlessly into its surrounding natural environment. Each building is two-storeys and plant and machinery can all be retained within the pitched roofs.

Car parking is located to the side of the site, set within extensive landscaping and will be shared with users of the recreation ground. Alternative transport methods are actively being promoted.

Lab-enabled Buildings

CDC’s six laboratory enabled buildings (suitable for both R&D and laboratory use) have been sensitively designed to reflect the rural setting. Each building is no higher than two storeys and carries a barn style aesthetic. However, each has been engineered for maximum flexibility, allowing them to be split floor by floor and each floor split multiple times to accommodate smaller start-up and medium sized companies requiring flexible workspace.

Technical Information:

Floor to floor slab 4.5m. 4mva power supply secured for tenant areas with 1mva feeding landlord areas.

Schedule of Areas

The six lab-enabled buildings range in size from 31,463 sq ft (NIA) to 50,968 sq ft (NIA) (plant excluded). However, such is the flexibility of the site that bespoke requirements can be catered for by connecting and combining buildings to create larger spaces depending on occupier requirements.

306 secure cycle parking spaces and 330 car parking spaces will be available across the site for occupiers and visitors.

Please contact us to discuss bespoke requirements.

Sustainability

CDC will be one of the first fossil fuel free developments in Cambridgeshire, with a key focus on water recycling. The campus will target the highest level of sustainability, minimising its carbon footprint in construction and operation, including the conservation of energy and enhancing public health and wellbeing.

Targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ for all buildings, the aspiration is to achieve as close to Net Zero Carbon as possible to align with the campus’ corporate commitment to responsible development and evidence pioneering best practice and exemplary sustainability performance.
