A new three-storey glassed entrance area into Liverpool Science Park (LSP is due to be completed in March.

The reconfigured entrance point will comes directly off Mount Pleasant It will include a flexible co-working and communal space, with an adjoining outside seating area looking out onto the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral Piazza.

In addition to enhanced views of Knowledge Quarter Liverpool (KQ Liverpool) and Hope Street’s numerous arts and hospitality venues, the upgraded space will be further improved by the increased presence of pop-up baristas, Land Coffee, which will be expanding its operations within LSP.

Colin Sinclair, chief executive of Sciontec Liverpool and director of LSP, said: “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.”

It is the first major project undertaken by Sciontec Liverpool, with other development schemes being planned across the next five years. 

While space remains in high demand at LSP and other KQ Liverpool innovation centres, the recently launched inward investment programme, KQ Base, and the new community referral scheme, KQ Reward, are aiming to fill the remaining lab and office suites.

Companies choosing to take space at LSP, alongside 70 science, technology and knowledge-based organisations, will benefit from the onsite facilities and resources, including free access to the fitness studio, meeting rooms and community events.
