Kier has been selected to deliver a new £46 million office and laboratory in Cambridge.

The scheme involves designing and building a three-storey laboratory building, along with a four-storey office building, at Cambridge Biomedical Campus. The buildings will be connected by an atrium link and work is scheduled to begin this month.

Around 100,000 sq ft of office and laboratory space will be developed on behalf of Cambridge Medipark Limited. The facilities will be occupied by Abcam once completed in late 2018, allowing the company to combine its three current facilities into one new global headquarters.
