We support policy aims to respond to the need for new visitor accommodation, particularly within Cambridge. There is an identified need at the Campus for visitor accommodation, particularly for business activities but also for visitor use. Campus expansion could provide hotel space alongside a conference centre for which there is also an identified deficit. The Campus is in serious need of floorspace to allow for the mixing of different staff from different institutions to enable knowledge spillover and idea sharing. A diverse development offer allows the Campus to move towards an interconnected and vibrant innovation district promoting collaboration and innovation.
