Architect RMJM is designing a £200m medical research laboratory in Cambridge, ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ understands.

The scheme, for the Medical Research Council, will be housed at Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridge. The centre, which has yet to be submitted for planning permission, will be used as a laboratory of molecular biology.

It will form part of a redevelopment of the site. In 1999 the NHS trust unveiled a series of proposals to transform the hospital into a centre for treatment and research.

The Addenbrooke’s redevelopment also includes extension of the main hospital, a cancer centre, provision of additional research institutes and staff housing.

The development may also include a train station and link roads. RMJM declined to comment.
