The University of Nottingham has confirmed it has acquired the
former Dairy Crest sites totalling 2.9 acres, to add to its growing
land bank at the University of Nottingham Innovation Park (UNIP) at
Jubilee campus.
A number of new build projects are planned for the Innovation
Park, off Triumph Road, which will see significant development over
the next 18 months.
The award winning University of Nottingham Innovation Park now
stands at 15 acres of key development land, and represents a major
strategic development for The University of Nottingham. The
Innovation Park, which opened its doors in 2008, provides first
rate business accommodation for businesses that are determined to
innovate and would like to work closely with university
researchers.
UNIP is already home to the iconic Aspire tower - the UK's
tallest freestanding structure - the award-winning Sir Colin
Campbell Building and the Nottingham Geospatial Building
incorporating the GNSS Research and Applications Centre of
Excellence (GRACE).
Jo Derbyshire, operations manager at UNIP said; "This
acquisition is the latest phase in our drive to develop excellent
business accommodation and encourage innovation by providing the
bridge between the corporate and academic worlds.
"A number of further plots are available for new build projects,
where appropriate partners and tenants are identified and UNIP is
also in negotiations for further acquisitions around the site. We
will be making further announcements regarding these exciting
developments in the near future."
