The University of Reading has announced its commitment to develop a new Science and Innovation Park at the heart of the Thames Valley with an investment of up to £50 million to establish the site infrastructure and phase one construction.
The University’s Science and Innovation Park will play a key role in driving the region’s knowledge economy, targeting technology-led companies seeking both a strategic location and access to the high-quality research and graduate support provided by the University.
The commission will see the leading UK practice design bespoke new facilities for a 5,000sqm Gateway for the new Thames Valley Science Park. The Gateway and follow on buildings will be speculative multi occupancy facilities of serviced offices, laboratories and communal spaces, forming the first stage of the overall 18,000sqm first phase of development.
