Lease signed for new Eddington health facility

The University of Cambridge has signed a lease agreement with NHS Property Services for the new health facility at Eddington, marking a significant step forward in local healthcare provision for the growing community.

Matt Johnson, Head of Development at North West Cambridge Development said: “This is an important milestone for Eddington. Securing the lease with the NHS helps ensure that high‑quality healthcare provision will be part of the fabric of this community. It will be a great community facility that responds directly to the needs of residents and adds further to the services and infrastructure being delivered for both Eddington and the wider neighbourhood.”

Located on Eddington Avenue, the purpose‑designed building will support access to healthcare for local residents, as well as the wider surrounding area, as the development continues to grow. The physical space was constructed as part of the first phase of development and the agreement secures the premises for NHS use, enabling the University to proceed with the contract for internal fit‑out works. These works will see construction activity taking place throughout 2026. The new facility is anticipated to begin providing healthcare services to the community from 2027.

Further updates will be shared as the project progresses.
