Harston Mill Harston,
Cambridge

Client:
The Generics Group
Consultant:
Watts
Service:
Project Management
Project Cost:
£9 million
 

Harston Mill is the business and research campus of the Generics Group - the technology and innovation company. It occupies a stunning natural park incorporating a stretch of the River Cam and low-lying meadowland. The client was expanding and commissioned an integrated extension with high design values and smart environmental controls. Watts was appointed to provide management support in the delivery of the project.

The client directly managed the process themselves, but retained Watts as informed client consultants. Landscape design was a special feature of the project. It incorporated innovative drainage attenuation and an architectural scheme that set out to mirror Generics - technology, innovation and business.


The project doubled available accommodation to 7,400 sq m of high quality office and laboratory space.
