University of Cambridge Library Masterplan
Cheltenham, UK
海角视频 is supporting the University of Cambridge, working alongside Herzog & de Meuron, heritage consultants Purcell and landscape architects J&L Gibbons, to develop a new strategic spatial framework for the iconic Cambridge University Library designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.
Aligned with the University鈥檚 programme, this long-term vision is designed to enable the academic mission of the University by creating an accessible, inclusive, operationally and environmentally sustainable and welcoming library that meets the needs of all those who use it.
The Site Spatial Framework is intended to establish how the University can make best use of the University Library building and site and how changes could be phased through a series of projects over time.
Drawing on integrated expertise across MEP, , security and fire engineering, our team is ensuring that solutions are fully coordinated and complementary.
海角视频 brings a depth of experience in complex heritage and research environments that enables the University of Cambridge to move forward with confidence. By combining technical expertise with strategic insight, the team has helped to define a clear and realistic route to transformation.

We are delighted to be supporting one of the world鈥檚 greatest Universities as they seek to make their main library fit for the future.聽Working alongside Herzog de Meuron architects on a new spatial masterplan, we have mapped out how the aging building systems can be adapted and upgraded to improve the internal environment, reduce carbon emissions, and allow the building to adapt to changing demands in the coming decades.
