Bruntwood SciTech aims to turn existing lab spaces at Alderley Park into high-specification biology and chemistry containment level two lab suites, which will fit the requirements of drug discovery firms, including those combating infectious diseases, oncology, advanced therapy medicinal products and diagnostics.
New spaces, totalling 86,000 sq ft, will also feature write-up, breakout and presentation spaces.
Kath Mackay, director of life sciences at Bruntwood SciTech, said: “Our newly redeveloped labs are a step change from traditional lab environments as the industry sees a shift towards an ecosystem of workspace that offers opportunities for young, innovative companies to collaborate alongside sectoral leaders.
“The life sciences sector is witnessing rapid and continued growth in the North West and the creation of these pioneering workspaces speaks to that demand.”
Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership has provided £4m to the redevelopment scheme, which is due to complete in August.
