Exciting times lie ahead as the UK government launches England’s second Investment Zone in Liverpool, with a strong focus on life sciences.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u00a3320 million investment<\/a> is poised to drive economic growth across the UK, with Liverpool City Region emerging as a cornerstone for pioneering life science research and innovation clusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the second investment zone?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The government has launched England\u2019s second Investment Zone which could deliver 4,000 jobs across Liverpool, Runcorn, St. Helens, Maghull and Prescot over the next 5 years. An initial \u00a310 million investment will be made by a US pharmaceutical manufacturer, to enhance its capabilities in manufacturing a drug used to treat cancers, arthritis and skin conditions. This investment in Liverpool\u2019s existing Speke Pharma cluster \u2013 home to one of the UK\u2019s leading regions for bioprocessing – is the first step in unlocking a total pipeline of up to \u00a3320 million of further private funding from a range of investors in the life sciences sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surging demand for life science fit-outs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The surge in the life science sector due to the Investment Zone will undoubtedly lead to an increased demand for state-of-the-art life science fit-outs. As the sector prepares to welcome over 4,000 new jobs in the next five years, aligning workspaces with this burgeoning demand becomes imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDB excels in creating modern lab and life science fit-outs tailored to our clients’ needs. This year, we partnered with Recircle<\/a>, a recycling and biotechnology firm, to consolidate their operations into one cutting-edge facility on Daresbury Sci \u2013 Tech Park. By closely collaborating with their team, we transformed a CAT A office space into a fully functional CAT B life science facility, quadrupling their operational capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n

What do modern life science fit-outs look like?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Life science businesses understand that the nature of research can change rapidly. Each discovery may lead them down a new path, requiring adaptable workspaces. Flexibility in design is key, allowing spaces to be reconfigured to accommodate evolving methodologies and equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the modern era, life science fit-outs are not limited to traditional laboratories. They now incorporate modern administrative and social spaces. These environments foster collaboration and critical thinking, with open-plan areas where teams can gather to brainstorm and problem-solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eco-friendly approach<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With the increase in life science spaces in the North, many are opting for an eco-friendly and sustainable approach. This includes sourcing labour and materials locally, utilising recycled materials, and incorporating greenery in social spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our client Microgeneration Certification Scheme<\/a> (MCS), embarked on a journey to relocate their office to a new, sustainable space. Environmental responsibility was a central concern, and our design incorporated carbon-neutral flooring features, sustainable timber slats, and a potable media unit crafted from 48% recycled materials and 99.35% sustainable components. Due to the demand from its growth, MCS moved from a small space on Daresbury science park into larger premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to the future<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The substantial private investment is a testament to the bright future that lies ahead for this sector. As the demand for state-of-the-art life science fit-outs continues to surge, EDB stands at the forefront, ready to meet the evolving needs of this dynamic field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
