EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Napp Laboratories, located in Milton Road, Cambridge Science Park. The image showcases a team of dedicated women working diligently in the pesticides filling hall. Napp Laboratories, constructed by Laing Management Contracting for Napp Pharmaceutical Group, was an ambitious project that commenced in October 1980. Designed by renowned Toronto-based Arthur Erickson Architects, the building complex consisted of three interconnected structures housing pharmaceutical production facilities, research laboratories, administration offices, a restaurant, and an auditorium. The photograph highlights the immense scale and architectural beauty of this facility. Elevated 1200 mm above its surroundings on a concrete podium and adorned with an ornamental lake on its southern side, it truly stands out as an iconic landmark. The construction process involved innovative techniques such as sloping precast concrete columns and solar reflective double glazing known as structural glazing. These features not only added to the aesthetic appeal but also enhanced functionality. In this image from A© Historic England Archive captured during the 1980s era when women were increasingly making their mark across industries previously dominated by men; we witness these remarkable individuals contributing to advancements within the pharmaceutical industry. This print serves as a testament to both the progress made within Napp Laboratories and the invaluable contributions made by women throughout history.
