Eco excellence down by the Riverside for Granta Park

A report on the recycling of waste during the construction of the Riverside development at Granta Park, Cambridge shows that over the last six months between 74% and 91% of all waste generated has been recycled, which is approximately double the industry expectation.

“MEPC take the sustainability agenda very seriously so we are delighted that our construction management partners Mace Ltd are exceeding industry expectations.” Said Roz Bird, Marketing Manager.

The Riverside development on Granta Park Science Park is progressing ahead of schedule and interest in the three buildings remains high. The development offers flexible accommodation including offices and laboratories to let/rent for small and medium-sized companies looking for 2,500 sq ft – 68,000 sq ft.

The three buildings, set around a courtyard next to the River Granta with views of the meadow and Great Abington church, are being constructed simultaneously and are due for completion in early December. Current activity on site includes the fitting of the feature curtain walling to the entrance’s of Building A & B and inside, finishes are progressing on all floors with plastering, lighting & heating systems being installed and raised floor installation commencing.

The courtyard area in front of the Riverside science park development is currently being cleared in anticipation of the start of works which will include disabled and visitor parking, access roads and landscaped areas.
