Jestico + Whiles completes key new learning centre for the University of Cambridge
Jestico + Whiles has completed a dynamic £40m West Hub, on the University’s West Cambridge Site. The project represents the start of a radical transformation of the research campus to create a new and lively destination quarter in the city – the West Cambridge Innovation District. Featuring state-of-the-art buildings and cutting-edge laboratories, the West Cambridge Innovation District will be a world-leading home for research and enterprise, incorporating pedestrianised plazas, central gardens, lakes and urban orchards. The West Hub, which is
now open, sits at the heart of the emerging Innovation District, offering a unique meeting place for people to connect and socialise, and marks a new university approach to learning spaces and shared-used resources. Open and accessible to everyone at the university, as well as to members of the public, the co-working hub will enable new ways for academics, researchers, students, businesses and the wider community to share, learn and collaborate through the flexible spaces it offers.

The design balances team work
with deep-focus work, which sees team spaces on the upper level, separating focus and collaborative areas while still providing easy access to both.
The campus incorporates biophilic design principles, including greenery, natural daylight and views outside from every desk to improve the health and well-being of users inside the building. Clerestory windows modulate direct light onto
desks with automated window shades that open and close over the course of the day. The ventilation system uses 100%
outside air, with a one-way air flow system meaning no air is recycled. The site is expected to achieve a LEED-NC v4 Platinum certification and become the largest facility ever to attain the International Living Future Institute (ILFI) LBC Water Petal Certification.
