The Public Exhibitions

This section contains details of earlier public consultations that the University undertook to help inform its proposals.

The masterplanning proposals for the University of Cambridge’s North West Cambridge site are moving forward. To continue the success of this collaborative process we have been working with the wider community to hear their views of the emerging masterplan.

In November 2009 and June 2010 we held Public Exhibitions as well as Public Workshops. These exhibitions and workshops formed the next stage in the process of preparing the masterplan for the site - and provided an opportunity for stakeholders to contribute and comment on the proposals.
