The Laing O’Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering and Technology is moving with the University of Cambridge Civil Engineering Division to a building on West Campus.

Designed by Grimshaw Architects, the Civil Engineering Building incorporates a number of pioneering and innovative aspects including an energy/cost metric to minimise energy usage, design for deconstruction, the installation of building sensors and elements of innovative concrete. It is hoped a BREEAM sustainability target of ‘Excellent’, set for the West Cambridge Masterplan, will also be achieved here.

However, we encourage you to make use of the plentiful public transport options available, including a large park-and-ride car park near West Campus. Please find further travel details on our website.

In the entrance foyer you will find a self-check in system which will print you a visitors badge and notify your host of your arrival.
