Willmott Dixon<\/a> has secured a \u00a39.1m contract to deliver the Broadland Food Innovation Centre, a joint venture between Broadland District Council<\/a> and the New Anglia LEP<\/a><\/h2>\n

The Broadland Food Innovation Centre will be at the centre of the Food Enterprise Park outside Norwich and supports the growth of local food and drink firms in the area.<\/p>\n

Procured using the Scape framework<\/a>, the project comprises of two linked buildings, which will house 13 individual units fitted out to the British Retail Consortium (BRC) food hygiene grade.<\/p>\n

The design incorporates a landscaped \u2018green street\u2019 at the centre of the two buildings with a ring road for tenants to access their units.<\/p>\n

A central Hub area will be used to bridge the production and office spaces<\/a>, providing a shared area for tenants to use the test kitchen and sensory tasting spaces for product development.<\/p>\n

The Broadland Food Innovation Centre has been designed to the BREEAM \u2018Excellent\u2019 environmental standard. Using Photovoltaic (PVs) panels, the building will harness the sun\u2019s energy for electricity generation.<\/p>\n

\u2018Supporting food and drink manufacturers\u2019<\/h3>\n

Chris Tredget, managing director at Willmott Dixon for the northern Homes Counties and east region, said: \u201cWe are delighted to have been appointed to deliver the Food Innovation Centre, which will provide fantastic facilities to the local thriving food and drink industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce completed, the centre will be a great addition to the local area with top class facilities to help local businesses expand and grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very much looking forward to starting on site.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broadland District Council portfolio holder, Jo Copplestone, commented: \u201cThis is a really exciting time for our district.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Food Innovation Centre will give us the opportunity help new and existing businesses, nurture new ideas and enable us to process more of Norfolk\u2019s agricultural output locally, minimising food miles and helping the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Robinson, SCAPE group chief executive, added: \u201cWith an increased importance on buying local, investment in commercial facilities that support our food and drink manufacturers \u2013 many of whom are SMEs<\/a>, is vital for them to develop and keep pace with demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlacing sustainability at the heart of the centre\u2019s design, through the inclusion of green spaces and the use of solar power for example, is ensuring that we do this in a way that also reduces carbon emissions and makes better use of natural capital.\u201d<\/p>\n
