Major works are underway at Liverpool Science Park (LSP) to create a three-storey, glassed lobby area complete with a coffee shop, co-working and communal space.
The new facility will be accessible from Mount Pleasant, with it part of new owner Sciontec Liverpool's pledge to reinvest in the park's buildings.
It's hoped to result in a more accessible, reconfigured entryway for visitors and customers, with Land Coffee set to open a pop-up cafe and an adjoining outside seating area looking out onto the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral Piazza. That's as well as opening up opportunities for business collaboration and growth.
Colin Sinclair, CEO of Sciontec Liverpool and director of Liverpool Science Park, said: “We are proud to be investing in and transforming the LSP facilities, enhancing the working environment for our customers for years to come.
“The upgraded entrance way features have been designed in response to changing customer demands, providing spacious areas in which our science and tech community can work, socialise and collaborate within an innovative environment.”
Works began in October and are due for completion in March, and have been allowed to continue throughout lockdown.
It's the first major project undertaken by Sciontec Liverpool, with other development schemes being planned across the next five years.
The facility is home to 70 science, technology and knowledge-based organisations.
