Abcam Headquarters
Increasingly, life science buildings must meet organizational needs while also adapting to new and more agile ways of working. A leading supplier of research tools in more than 130 countries, Abcam’s headquarters brings 450 staff together for the first time. Its connected, collaborative headquarters supports employee and staff well-being, driving efficiencies that help advance scientific research.
The headquarters serves as a gateway to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, bringing all business functions—including laboratories, production and distribution facilities—under one roof. To support both current needs and future growth, the sustainably-designed building provides 75% more space, features fully flexible laboratory configurations and has new technology for enhanced capabilities.
Features
Landscaping encourages biodiversity with indigenous plantings, bird boxes and bioswale landscaping for onsite rainwater management, and provides outdoor amenity spaces for employees.
