Incorporating the Science Park to the university campus
Our role
- Provided advice to the University of Warwick for over 15 years on the development of their campus on the edge of Coventry.
- We have provided due diligence advice on their acquisition of the adjoining Science Park from Coventry City Council, including a full planning history search and policy appraisal.
- We have since advised on emerging masterplan proposals for the site with Steve Ritchie Architects and secured permission for university developments within the park.
Results
- The university has successfully assimilated the Science Park into the campus, including improved connectivity.
- The potential of the site in the wider context of the campus and the gradual blurring of lines between R&D and academic research uses, including the adjoining NAIC development, means that what was a first generation Science Park can make a broader contribution to the local economy.
