Campus owners Howard Group, a Cambridge-based family business with a 50-year track record as a long-term property investor and developer, is transforming the site of a former tannery into a stunning modern workplace. Located 8 miles south of Cambridge, the 11-acre Campus which is already home to 12 leading life science and technology companies, is undergoing a major expansion. Three new laboratory
buildings are due for completion by the end of 2023 and a further three buildings by the end of 2025 providing an additional 150,000 sq ft of floorspace. Other out-dated industrial units have been sustainably repurposed into state-of-the-art offices and laboratories adjacent to a well-equipped fitness centre. The masterplan for the compact site has been purposefully designed to foster business interactions and friendships. Building on the industrial legacy of the nearby villages of Sawston and Pampisford, the bold urban aesthetic of the buildings is being off-set by a network of connected green spaces and water meadows as well as a landscaped courtyard with a multi-purpose clubhouse. Community, societal impact and sustainability underpin every aspect of the operation and development of the Campus. By merging the traditional and modern, urban and rural, business and social, Unity Campus offers an entirely different working environment to all other science and research parks in the Cambridge area creating a wider choice of location for technology and life science companies seeking laboratories or offices.
