History
Granta Park - the gold standard in science park design.
-bold and stunning
Granta Park celebrated its 10th Birthday in November 2007.
In November 1997 a joint partnership was formed between TWI and MEPC and Granta Park Limited was created.
A design team comprising Latz and Co, probably the foremost landscape designers in Germany who are currently working on Crystal Palace Park and, Eric Parry Architects the internationally renowned practice; developed the master plan for the park with the aim of preserving and enhancing the existing rural landscape and ensuring the site would be easily accessible.
The first idea for the park came from the then Chief Executive of TWI Bevan Braithwaite OBE. MEPC, who at that time had already made a success of Milton Park in Abingdon Oxfordshire, were the ideal partners to turn the dream of a new Cambridge science park into reality.
In July 1998 Roger Quince, formerly of Segal Quince and Wicksteed, the economics consultancy that produced The Cambridge Phenomenon Report joined Granta Park Limited as Managing Director.
