The £212M building completed in 2013 with space for up to 440 scientists. Designed to aesthetically represent the chromosomes, the Laboratory has won 12 Nobel Prizes for key discoveries and research undertaken in Cambridge.

The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) is a world-class research laboratory, dedicated to understanding important biological processes at the molecular level – with the goal of using this knowledge to tackle major problems in human health and disease.

The LMB is one of the birthplaces of modern molecular biology. Many techniques were pioneered at the laboratory, including DNA sequencing, methods for determining the three-dimensional structure of proteins and the development of monoclonal antibodies

Our team were employed by a mechanical contractor to project manage the below ground water main, dry risers and installation of the public health package across all areas, including laboratories, kitchens, bathrooms and interstitial floors.
