Local context
Cambridge’s height safety estate is dominated by three sectors that together represent one of the most demanding portfolios in the country for documentation, audit, and access discipline. The University of Cambridge collegiate estate spans 31 colleges and an extensive departmental estate, with building stock ranging from medieval and Tudor through to current laboratory and research facilities. Retrofit installation against historic college buildings must work with the colleges’ own conservation requirements and the constraints of listed building consent. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, including Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the surrounding research institutes, represents one of the largest single biomedical research sites in Europe, with very high frequency of access to plant and laboratory roofs and stringent documentation standards. The Cambridge Science Park (the original UK science park, established 1970), Cambridge Research Park, and the wider innovation cluster across Granta Park, Babraham, and Hinxton add a substantial research commercial estate.
Anglia Ruskin University and the substantial local authority estate across Cambridge and the wider county complete the city’s portfolio. Engineers cover Cambridge from the London office.
