Cambridge 2000: Madingley Road: Schlumberger Research Centre
Madingley Road: Schlumberger Research Centre
One of the most beautiful buildings in Cambridge,
especially remarkable because it is designed to
hold oil test rigs. The fibre roof is a hallmark of Hopkins,
used later, for example, in the Mound Stand at Lord's Cricket
Ground in London. The building is sometimes lit up at night
and is then a treat for those driving up the M11.
There was a later, more conventional,
building
added at the back.
