LANCASTER SCIENCE PARK, BAILRIGG

Lancaster University and Lancaster City Council are working in collaboration with the Northwest Regional Development Agency to develop a new Science Park on a 9.7hectare greenfield site immediately adjacent to the University campus.

The project will comprise a purpose-built Innovation Centre to house new and expanding knowledge-based businesses. It will also provide serviced sites and grow-on space for businesses wishing to co-locate with the University or spinning out from InfoLab21 and the Lancaster Environment Centre.

The final stages of feasibility work are under way and it is anticipated that construction of the first phase will be completed by March 2009.
