The Laing O'Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering and Technology at the University of Cambridge is a partnership between the Department of Engineering and Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge and Laing O'Rourke, the UK's largest privately owned construction company.

The Centre was created as the result of a generous donation by Laing O'Rourke. The donation will fund a new Chair in Construction Engineering, a Masters degree programme, and support research and undergraduate teaching within the Department of Engineering.

The goal of the new Centre is to precipitate innovation and provide a new vision for the shape of tomorrow's construction industry. The Centre also manages a two-year part-time masters degree at the Department of Engineering.
