Brooklands is a new workplace campus in central Cambridge, containing the city’s first major Net Zero Carbon office building. It fills a gap in the Cambridge workspace market, meeting tenant expectations for high-quality space while at the same time offering sustainable, characterful buildings that contribute to the city. 6,000 sqm of flexible workspace is arranged across two buildings (B1 and B2) around a courtyard garden, linked by a colonnade.

Brooklands aligns closely with the government’s strategic growth agenda for Cambridge and its ambition to boost the knowledge economy. Growth in Cambridge is not limited to expanding the city’s fringes, it also involves optimising existing urban areas and bringing underused sites to life in a sustainable and sensitive way.
