Laing O'Rourke has started preliminary work on the new Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital after Councillors on the local planning committee recommended approval on the build

The Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital will be the first of its kind for the East of England and it will be located on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

The project was announced last August.

Laing O'Rourke, a UK-based construction company, is set to start pre-construction works this summer after planning permission was recommended by the planning committee.

Full construction work is anticipated to begin in 2025.

The Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital will be the first of its kind for the East of England

The new hospital will break down barriers between the laboratory and the clinic by bringing together under one roof NHS staff from Addenbrooke’s Hospital and scientists from the University of Cambridge and its Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre.

The Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital will be low-carbon and electric-powered, full of light, with access to outdoor spaces, and designed to meet the NHS’s new Net-Zero Carbon Building Standard.
