Work Starts on Liverpool’s ic3

Construction of Liverpool Science Park’s (LSP) £8m third building at the heart of Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter is underway. Innovation Centre 3 (ic3) will to provide 42,000 sq ft of additional office and laboratory space to accompany the two buildings already at the park, which are now more than 90% occupied.

Innovation Centre 3 (ic3) will include fully serviced biology and chemistry laboratories, meeting rooms and under-croft car parking. It will complete the development of LSP’s Metropolitan Cathedral site which links the city’s two universities and its growing Knowledge Quarter. The project is due for completion in spring 2014.

Half of the construction costs are being underwritten by the science park’s owners Liverpool City Council, the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University, with the balance being provided by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Sir Howard Newby, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Liverpool (UoL) and Chair of the Liverpool Science Park Board, said: “Investment in Liverpool Science Park is crucial in nurturing up-and-coming business talents and supporting them in turning their ideas into successful commercial ventures. The growth of the science park is crucial to the development of the city’s Knowledge Quarter and to enhance Liverpool’s wealth of scientific expertise.”

Chris Musson, chief executive of Liverpool Science Park said: “The construction of ic3 is a key milestone for the science park and marks the next chapter in its history. LSP started life back in 2006 with a vision to build up a thriving community of like-minded science and technology businesses and we have delivered on this.”
