Laboratory of Molecular Biology starts to take shape
|
June 2010
The new LMB site in Cambridge, England is now well under way. You can see from the first two aerial progress photographs taken just before Christmas how the site is taking shape.
Cadweb has been used on all phases of the project from the early feasibility stage which started in January 2006 to the current Construction Phase which started nearly one year ago. We have just been appointed to help manage the Transition Project managing and coordinating the move out of the old building and a smooth transition into the new Laboratories.
To date 427,000 files have been sent and are stored on the system. All the design and latest construction drawings have been issued and coordinated on the system, as have the RFI’s (Request For Information) and any changes to the original design.
The photo below, taken this month, shows how the building is beginning to take shape and how much progress it has made since Christmas.
The primary goal of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) is to understand biological processes at the molecular level, with the ultimate aim of using this knowledge to tackle specific problems in human health and disease.
The LMB is one of the birthplaces of modern molecular biology. Many techniques were pioneered at the laboratory, most notably the sequencing of DNA. Over the years, the work of LMB scientists has attracted 9 Nobel prizes shared amongst 13 LMB scientists, as well as numerous other prizes and scientific awards.
The LMB provides an unsurpassed environment for both young and established researchers. Scientists are drawn to the LMB from all over the world, thus creating a lively and international community for the exchange of ideas and technical innovation.
The picture below shows how the new laboratories will look when completed.

Notes to Editors
- Founded in 1995 Cadweb is the longest and oldest, established project extranet provider in the UK. Cadweb is now recognized as the de facto market leader in it's field with a long and growing list of blue-chip clients. Project Extranets provide an internet based central searchable repository for project information whereby project data can be stored and retrieved by all members of a construction project.
- Cadweb.net provides an internet based, central, highly searchable repository for all project information, whereby project data can be stored and retrieved by all members of a construction project.
