Topping out has been marked at the Sidney Sussex Building, 60,000 sq ft multi-occupancy, life sciences R&D development at Chesterford Research Park in Cambridge.
The building will have 10 R&D suites and is intended to enable existing occupiers to grow while also attracting new names to the park. Suites will range from 2,226 sq ft to 8,409 sq ft within a striking landscaped setting.
Designed by BCR Infinity Architects, the building allows for the combination of spaces to accommodate larger requirements. Each fully fitted suite will comprise wet laboratory space with benches, sinks and fitted fume hoods, as well as heating and cooling systems, with separate open plan office areas. Storage rooms and showers also feature, all centred around a communal atrium and reception area.
The project is anticipated to be complete by October 2025.
Eddie McGillycuddy, chief executive of contractor Glencar, said: “It is a testament to the hard work and specialised expertise of our life sciences team that we have reached full height, and we are delighted to have achieved this important milestone. Once completed, this 60,000 sq ft, three-storey multi-occupancy building will directly address the growing demand for laboratory space within the Cambridge cluster and the wider Golden Triangle.
“As Glencar’s third life sciences project, this development is a significant addition to our portfolio and further showcases our expanding expertise in this sector. We look forward to following the project’s progress and the key milestones that lie ahead. I would also like to extend our gratitude to the entire project team and our partners for their invaluable contributions to this achievement.”
