Life Sciences

Given our location in Cambridge at the heart of life science and research CPS have extensive experience of life science facilities both in research & development and production. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic our Clients needs changed. CPS had to respond immediately to deliver bespoke research facilities allowing our scientists the ability to develop vaccines and understand the origins of the virus. 

The life sciences sector is everchanging and CPS’ delivery adapts with an everchanging canvas. Many of our repeat life sciences clients appreciate CPS’ open book approach and will come to us with an idea for us to implement. CPS will then work with them and our trusted design consultants to offer the client what they want within their facilities.   

Works within the life sciences sector vary from new build labs to minor bespoke upgrades depending on the science being undertaken. 

We have long-standing working relationships with many prestigious research facilities and campuses where we deliver complex projects and maintenance services. This includes Cambridge Science Park, Granta Park, Chesterford Research Park & Babraham Institute.

CPS carried out the works quietly and efficiently with little or no inconvenience to anyone. The College staff found them very easy to deal with and the finished job is superb. We have enjoyed excellent relations with CPS for many years now (going back to shortly after they started out) and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
