The University of Cambridge has asked Colander to run a competition to find a number of complementary architectural and landscape practices, large and small, for its ambitious new urban extension in North West Cambridge.  

The first phase of the project comprises nine Lots with landscape, a variety of residential units, retail, a school and community facilities.

Expressions of interest are required by 06 February 2012.

Interested practices will be expected to demonstrate exceptional design talent; a commitment to innovative, sustainable design; a proven ability to deliver both creativity and the highest possible value to their clients; satisfied clients for whom they have solved similar challenges, and the skills needed to deliver a project of this nature.
