Origin Point Cambridge

St Andrew’s Rd, Chesterton, CB4 1DL

5,000 — 42,000 sq ft. of lab space

The new origin of innovation in Cambridge

Flexible space built to perform

There are labs. Then there are ultra labs. Fitted out with discovery-grade technology and built to help your team do their life’s best work and fuel performance.

Following a comprehensive refurbishment, you’ll find technical R&D, wet labs and workspaces that adapt as your business grows – all within a single, future-ready platform.

But great discovery needs more than great labs. Set within a riverside Cambridge location, Origin Point combines the accessibility of the city centre with the practicality of a campus environment in glorious, natural surroundings.

This is a place where teams can move faster and collaborate more effectively, and where businesses can scale with confidence.

Purpose built for growing  businesses

Cambridge within easy reach

Stay close to Cambridge’s research institutions, business hubs and transport links. Origin Point is a short cycle from the city centre and both railway stations, making it easy for teams, clients and collaborators to reach you while keeping everyday essentials within easy reach.

Among established science and technology businesses

Build your business among people working at the forefront of science and technology. Alongside neighbouring Radio House, Origin Point forms a campus already home to Xylem, Power Integrations and OpenText, with connections to Cambridge’s wider network of research institutions and innovative companies.

Recognised for environmental performance

Origin Point’s BREEAM® Excellent rating recognises its environmental performance, giving businesses a considered setting for their next stage of growth. A comprehensive refurbishment brings modern building services, LED lighting and lab-ready infrastructure together, supporting the daily demands of research teams and office occupiers.

An atrium that multitasks

From morning coffee to an evening event, the shared atrium brings more to your working day. A kitchen bar and daily mini-market sit alongside space for meetings, presentations and launches, with cafés, pubs, shops and childcare options in the surrounding neighbourhood.

Space for teams and visitors

With 141 parking spaces, Origin Point makes travelling by car a practical option for your team and visitors. The provision includes 48 secure underground spaces and 93 outside, complemented by EV charging and road connections for commuters arriving from across the region.

A rare idyl

Designed for the way you live and work

Convenient and environmentally positive

Six EV charging points give colleagues and visitors the option to charge while they’re on site. Set within Origin Point’s extensive parking provision, they support the growing number of people travelling by electric vehicle, making charging part of the working day.

An easier ride to work

84 bike spaces with 47 covered spaces and secure storage, cycling is a convenient way to get to work. Cambridge’s cycle routes connect Origin Point to the city centre, railway stations and surrounding neighbourhoods, while on-site showers help you arrive ready for the day.

Places to meet and unwind

Outdoor seating and shared indoor spaces give your team room to take a break, catch up or enjoy lunch together. From informal conversations in the atrium to time outside by the river, there are welcoming places to spend time away from your desk.

Infrastructure that supports your work

Fully accessible raised floors support the practical demands of offices, laboratories and technical workspaces. Together with passenger lifts, a goods lift and dedicated servicing, they help teams organise their space around equipment and daily operations, with scope to adapt as requirements change.

Available space

Each floor at St Andrew’s House is designed to support multiple occupation strategies — from single HQ spaces to multi-let configurations — with flexibility for lab, workspace and hybrid environments built in from  day one.
