New scheme drawn up by Scott Brownrigg and built by SDC
British Land has completed a 拢40m office and laboratory development at its Peterhouse Technology Park in Cambridge.
Drawn up by architect Scott Brownrigg and built by SDC, the scheme has added over 100,000 sq ft of space intended to serve the growing life sciences sector.
Named The Optic, the three-storey building is located next to the existing Arm headquarters, which was also designed by Scott Brownrigg.
Externally, the design incorporates aluminium fins that provide solar shading. The second floor is set back to create a roof terrace.
Inside, the building includes a double-height entrance with timber finishes.
Environmental measures include recycled raised access flooring, reused aluminium and glazing, a bio-solar photovoltaic roof and an external air-source heat pump.
The scheme also provides secure cycle parking, changing facilities, and more than 94 electric vehicle charging points.
Others who worked on the scheme include structural; engineer and M&E consultant Ramboll, project manager Stace and cost consultant CB3. Landscape consultant was Liz Lake Associates.
Computer firm Arm Holdings is taking the entire three floors of the building with the firm already occupying the other six buildings at the site.
The technology park is owned by British Land and runs across 14 acres.
