Cambridge Civil Justice Centre
East Road, Cambridge

Client: Her Majesty's Courts Service

Project value: £8m

The project, a public private partnership, was for a new Civil Justice Centre containing 9 Courtrooms plus ancillary court and staff accommodation. The lack of an existing, dominant architectural language in this area of Cambridge presented the opportunity to create a gateway building, which clearly expresses its function and spatial hierarchy in terms of the materials used.

A central limestone clad core contains the Courtrooms and public spaces with ancillary accommodation finished in render with zinc elements.
