Life Sciences

Creating exceptional research and innovation spaces

The UK’s thriving life sciences sector represents some of the most pioneering medical and scientific research anywhere in the world.

The facilities which are home to this highly detailed work must be tailored to suit the specific needs and standards required for a myriad of applications, with biopharmaceutical tech, medical tech and genomics central pillars of the sector. That’s why our UK-wide multidisciplinary engineering and environmental team develops optimum, climate-resilient solutions to unlock the potential of every life sciences scheme, whether these focus on the redevelopment or extension of existing buildings or are entirely new facilities.

Building in flexibility from the outset, we ensure these assets keep pace with the constantly evolving requirements of life sciences operators and stakeholders, adding value by ensuring they remain viable for longer. As our industry forges a path to a greener future, we embed climate resilience within all our designs, embracing circularity and driving-down embodied, operational and whole-life carbon.

Expert view: Unlocking the potential of life sciences assets

Waterman’s Director for Structures, Hussein Huseyin, and Regional Environmental Director, Polly Clifton, give their insight into how our designs are supporting the rapid growth in demand for life sciences space of the highest quality. They outline why site selection and location are key to delivering successful outcomes and shed light on how existing assets are being repurposed to accommodate leading edge laboratory and research facilities across the UK.

 

 

Featured Projects

The Beehive Centre

Spread across a seven-hectare site, the Beehive Centre redevelopment will see the former retail park transformed into a major new centre for technology and life sciences in Cambridge.

Cambridge Science Park

Spanning 23-acres in central Cambridge’s Cherry Hinton area, Mission Street’s and BGO’s scheme will deliver one million sq ft of space across seven buildings.

Eastpoint Science Park – Oxford

The Eastpoint Science Park scheme will transform the existing business park to offer 200,000 sq ft of premium life sciences space across a range of new buildings.

BioCity Nottingham

This significant project involved the transformation of a former Boots and BASF pharmaceutical complex to create a new home for young bioscience businesses through a partnership between the University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University and East Midlands Development Agency.
