PRD provided development management services to John Laing, an investor and developer of infrastructure and assets, to support it to realise the development of Addenbrooke’s Forum.

John Laing is partnered with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH) to deliver the Forum development on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC).

The Forum is a £120m infrastructure project, which will bring together a post-graduate medical education centre, a 75-bed private hospital, a 200-room hotel and a 550-seat conference centre. The innovative combination of these functions offers access to a social hub for CBC to encourage interaction between academics and CUH staff; will bolster Cambridge’s reputation as a venue for biomedical conferences, training and specialist healthcare; and will generate income for NHS services at CUH.
