THE TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP (TTP) CAMPUS, CAMBRIDGESHIRE

BACKGROUND

TTP has operated from Melbourn Science Park for thirty years, but a new facility was needed to bring people together for collaboration as the business has grown. The new buildings would incorporate state-of-the-art labs, offices and manufacturing spaces, but key to the design were a variety of indoor and outdoor workspaces to stimulate TTP’s people to think differently.

BRIEF

The development featured three separate, differently shaped buildings - The Hive, Tech Barn and The

Exchange - that presented design challenges such as curved walls and an open plan layout requiring

acoustic enclosures. Features such as an exposed roof slab, concrete columns and a raised-access floor system to house mechanical ductwork required special design elements to soften the concrete surfaces.
