This is one of a series of pages about Clay Farm.
The Clay Farm Centre opened on 4 April 2018 (email). The centre is around 3700 sq m, with Clay Farm Library, a cafe, hall, multi-use
rooms, meeting rooms, and rooms for social services staff. The building will also house the Trumpington Medical Practice, opening later in
April 2018. The project to develop the Centre was led by Cambridge City Council, the designers were ADP, appointed in October 2012, and
building work started in April 2015 and was completed in January 2018.
The Centre is adjacent to Hobson Square, a large landscaped square and local shops, at the crossing point of Lime Avenue/Hobson Avenue
and the path from Trumpington village to Addenbrooke's Hospital, close to the Busway and Trumpington Community College. The first
occupant of the shop units will be Gregory's Pharmacy, from late April 2018. The development of Hobson Square was by Countryside, with
construction work by Tamdown, started in June 2014. See also the public art page.
