Hauser Forum, Cambridge, UK

Made the mistake of driving to the Hauser Forum after a very pleasant lunch in Coton.  The next door Institute of Manufacturing has an enormous car park protected by various contraptions designed to do great damage to any unauthorised car.  The Hauser Forum has a very modest car park with plenty of parking for disabled users.  I guess that the other drivers should use the Park and Ride, park in one of the nearby streets (do wave at the residents and say thanks0 or just use the unprotected car parking at the Computer Labs.

On my second visit to the Hauser Forum for TEDxCAM, I arrived by bike and enjoyed the wonderful new cycleway with good lighting.  The only problem is that the cycleway runs past a jogging track for the university’s athletes.  As I huff and puff along, they glide silently past.  Not even much parking for the old bicycle so I attached it to the very smart rails in front of the building.

Such a great idea but it is going to be interesting to see how it works as a regional centre with limited car access.  Is there any parking at the EEDA offices or are you expected to use Park and Ride?

One great advantage of visiting the Hauser Forum and looking at the IdeaSpace floor is that I managed a thirty second audience with Teri Willey, Director of Cambridge Enterprise.  Hope she was meeting some great entrepreneurs.  But even more pleased that she remembered my business plan resource!  Let us hope she thrives at her new location and the Hauser Forum becomes the centre for entrepreneur in the Eastern Region.
