St John’s Innovation Park · Cambridge
A Cambridge
address for ideas.
The Maurice Wilkes Building.
Architecture at the meeting point of
work, research and the city.
01 / The building
A distinctive presence
at the park’s gateway.
The Maurice Wilkes Building forms part of St John’s Innovation Park in north-east Cambridge. Its office accommodation, reception and roof terrace sit within a setting closely associated with the city’s research and technology community.
The building is a place to understand through its architecture and context, rather than a current letting offer. For space availability, use the park’s own current information.

02 / The setting
Part of a wider
Cambridge story.
St John’s Innovation Park sits in the city’s northern research and development area. The building’s setting connects the identity of a single workplace with the broader life of the park.
Explore the location before a visit, and confirm your destination with the organisation you are meeting. An office address, a visitor entrance and an agreed meeting point are not always the same thing.

Clean lines.
Considered space.
Glazing, strong horizontal lines and a carefully articulated silhouette give the building its character. Inside, the arrangement of accommodation and circulation supports its role as an office building within an established innovation park.
Our building guide brings together the main features and explains where to find current specifications. Floor plans and published measurements should always be read with their date and purpose in mind.

Use the building guide to distinguish enduring features from information that needs a current check.
05 / Development
From an emerging plan
to a completed place.
Planning, early lettings and construction form the building’s documented story. The dated news reports describe those events in their original context, including proposals and expectations that belonged to that period.
