A report of the council’s decision,

“The incubator will be at the core of
this vision, with research scientists from industrial partners and start-ups
occupying laboratory and desk space alongside academics from Cambridge and
collaborating institutions.
“The MPACC will provide support
and access to
state-of-the-art instrumentation for academic and industrial users in Cambridge

The university has applied for a
£17.645 million grant from the HEFCE’s UK Research Partnership Investment Fund
for the project, with the remaining funds raised from philanthropic donations
to the department.
The council also confirmed its
approval for a new building on the site of the Bridget’s and Nightingale
Hostels, which would both be demolished.
The new building, which will include
a bridge link to Keynes House in Trumptington Street, will house 25 academic
staff, at an estimated cost of £31.9 million.
It will be named the ‘Simon Sainsbury
Centre’ in honour of the settlor of the Monument Trust, which has committed up
to £8 million to the project. The remaining funds will be found from a
university loan.
Professor Steve Young, the
university’s pro-vice-chancellor for planning and resources

authorised to accept a tender for the works.
