| Description: | The Francis Crick Institute (formerly UKCMRI) is a joint venture between the UK's largest biomedical research and academic institutions: The Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK (CRUK), the Wellcome Trust, University College London, Kings College, London and Imperial College, London. A new research Institution will be established involving the construction of a new facility located close to St Pancras station, London. This facility will accommodate 1,268 scientists when fully operational. The National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) will be closed. This NIMR site at Mill Hill and the National Temperance Hospital site will be disposed of as part of this project. The project aims are: Sustain UK's position as a leader in biomedical research; Engagement with the most challenging research questions; Be on a scale to compete with major new overseas developments; Promote the health of the public and wider UK economy; Address key concerns of 2006 Cooksey review on publicly-funded healthcare research; Excellent training environment for biomedical research. |

| Schedule text | In conjunction with all JV partners it was agreed to extend the construction contract completion date to November 2015 to enable the Building Contractor to undertake science related accommodation changes. There was no adjustment to the project completion date. This was more economical than undergoing post completion works. The MRC funding requirements and construction budget for the Crick remains the same. |
