Cambridge University has awarded its first major project using the new contractor framework to deliver a\u00a0replacement for the Cavendish physics laboratory and a hub facilities building<\/h2>\n

Contractor Bouygues UK\u00a0<\/a>and Bouygues Energies & Services<\/a> will provide consultancy support to the university\u2019s existing project team to develop the proposals under a \u00a38.5m\u00a0professional services contract to provide preconstruction participation.<\/p>\n

The team will also be supported by\u00a0design partners NBBJ <\/a>and BDP <\/a>to create detailed designs for the\u00a0university\u2019s West Cambridge campus.<\/p>\n

The \u00a3300m scheme for\u00a0Lynxvale Limited, the development arm of the University of Cambridge <\/a>ranks as one of\u00a0its most ambitious in the long-running expansion programme.<\/p>\n

The Government has committed to\u00a0invest \u00a375m into the new Cavendish laboratory, with the\u00a0university also reported to have received a \u00a3150m philanthropic gift\u00a0to contribute towards the cost of the new lab.<\/p>\n

Design work\u00a0will run for a period of up to 18 months\u00a0with construction set to begin in early 2019 with a target completion date of December 2021.<\/p>\n

The Cavendish III laboratory will be a purpose-built centre for world-leading research for the university\u2019s Department of Physics, bringing a large number of research groups in the department together under one roof to encourage collaboration.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0344,500 sq ft, Cavendish III will house a range of laboratories, offices, clean rooms, workshops and multiple lecture theatres.<\/p>\n

The basement area will integrate specialist acoustic and vibration treatments to achieve the stringent control criteria necessary for operating equipment highly sensitive to vibration.<\/p>\n

There are also challenging criteria to be met in relation to temperature and humidity control and EMI protection.<\/p>\n

An associated 54,000 sq ft\u00a0independent Shared Facilities Hub will provide catering, collaborative teaching, meeting, study and library spaces to the West Cambridge campus.<\/p>\n

Fabienne Viala, Chairman of Bouygues UK, said:\u00a0\u201cWe relish technically complex projects and look forward to working with the university\u2019s project team and our partners at NBBJ and BDP to create new facilities that incorporate the stringent criteria required of a physics laboratory that is set to be the base for internationally significant research.\u201d<\/p>\n
