Contractor lands 拢48m deal to expand British tech giant鈥檚 Cambridge HQ

ARM Cambridge

Kier has won a 拢48m contract to expand global technology company Arm鈥檚 headquarters in Cambridge.

The work will provide 18,000sqm of Grade A office space and two multi-storey car parks with 800 spaces on the Arm campus site at Peterhouse Technology Park in Fulbourn.

The buildings, featuring bicycle parking, will be linked to the existing Arm buildings by a new estate road.

The office building will be constructed with a steel frame and curtain walling with vertical aluminium brise-soleil solar shading, which will form a six metre high saw tooth pattern.

The scheme is part of Arm鈥檚 plans to double its UK headcount in Cambridge to 3,000 people over the next five years.

Commenting on the award, Mark Dady, managing director for Kier Construction Eastern, said: 鈥淭his development will give a real boost to the local economy and employment opportunities.

鈥淎t Kier, we recently expanded our Cambridge offices and it鈥檚 great to see Arm invest in their offices in the city too, which further demonstrates Cambridge鈥檚 status as a hub for global companies.鈥�

Arm鈥檚 expansion comes as Japanese telecommunications company Softbank Group closes in on a 拢24bn takeover of the British technology giant.
