Kurzbeschreibung
The Wellcome Trust is a worldwide operating charitable organisation dedicated to the improvement of health. The Hinxton Estate in Cambridge, dating back to 1506, is one of its many locations. Hinxton Hall is a conference facility for Wellcome Trust where guests from all over the world convene to exchange information.
Architects Abell Nepp of London were commissioned to cover the historic kitchen garden around the Crick Auditorium to create a covered meeting zone for the auditorium. Waagner Biro steel and glass delivered this demanding steel and glass roof to the fullest satisfaction of the client.
Once again, a project with historic context was added to the portfolio.
