Building

The Lab ARU Peterborough, Peterborough for Propco1 with MCW Architects, Morgan Sindall, Mace, Smith and Wallwork, CPW and LUC

The third phase of the ARU Peterborough University Quarter addresses the city’s historical lack of higher education and its socio-economic disparities by transforming poor-quality car parks into a green, accessible campus. Central to the £32 million project is a “living lab”. It delivered £74.1 million in local social value, and created 45 new jobs, 16 work experience placements and 240 apprentice weeks during construction, significantly boosting the community and local economy.
