The project required precise strategy, design, engineering and construction to make a technically restricted building viable for modern laboratory use.
The building presented several constraints: a tight slab-to-soffit depth, limited existing MEP infrastructure, a footprint that resisted straightforward subdivision, and a complex group of stakeholders with differing needs. The client also required a rapid turnaround and a clear strategy to control cost and risk while ensuring readiness for a multi-tenant science community.
Budget pressure, speed-to-market and technical limitations meant that every design decision had to be highly efficient, coordinated and aligned with the space’s operational future.

Drawing on the full Inuti methodology across all seven stages, we led strategy, feasibility, design, engineering and construction to deliver a clear pathway.
Our team established a smart MEP strategy that worked with, rather than against, the constraints of the existing infrastructure. Early modelling and feasibility workshops confirmed how the limited soffit depth and non-lab-ready systems could be adapted, allowing us to subdivide the space in a way that preserved performance, compliance and future tenant flexibility.
We worked closely with Co-Labs to manage expectations, refine scope and protect the budget. By designing around the existing services rather than replacing them wholesale, we reduced complexity, avoided disruptive structural interventions and accelerated delivery.
The result is a space that meets the needs of Cambridge’s emerging science companies: compliant, flexible, efficient to operate and ready for occupation at pace.
