Planned bioscience hub could attract 750 jobs

How the development will look

A planned bioscience development on the huge Island Quarter scheme in Nottingham city centre could be home to 750 staff, according to documents seen by TheBusinessDesk.com.

Conygar has officially submitted plans for the 250,000 sq ft building aimed at bioscience firms, which will include laboratory and office space.

The facility would be located adjacent to existing bioscience hub BioCity.

These latest proposals will continue the development of the northern edge of the 36-acre development, which also features a 693-bed student accommodation block, due for completion in summer 2024.

Richard Watson of The Island Quarter project delivery team said: “This latest phase is another significant step forward for the regeneration of The Island Quarter, bringing the potential for hundreds of new jobs and increasing the footfall across the wider site. With 1 The Island Quarter now fully open for business and the student accommodation set to be ready for the 2024/25 intake, it’s a truly exciting time not just for the project, but for the city as a whole.”
