Babraham Bioscience Technologies Ltd (BBT) today announced the initiation of a new Bioincubator building programme at the Babraham Research Campus, further expanding Babraham’s capacity for supporting early-stage companies and biomedical innovation.
SDC Builders Ltd have been appointed as the main contractor for the construction of the new Bioincubator facility at the Babraham Research Campus. The new 8800 sq ft facility is designed to provide accommodation for up to 16 early stage biomedical companies at the heart of the Cambridge Biomedical cluster. The building has been designed to allow maximum flexibility in use so that combinations of office, laboratory, cell culture and containment level 2 facilities can readily be provided according to the specific needs of early stage companies.
The building will also provide communal laboratory equipment and meeting areas. Building work will commence in January 2010, and it is expected that the new Bioincubator space will be available to tenants in September 2010.
