University of Bristol, SETsquared Business Acceleration


Contact Details:

Nick Sturge
Greville Commins

Type of Project:

Existing sites:

  1. University Gate East - previously Regus offices
  2. Woodland Road - previously academic offices (before that, domestic residence); refurbished to create some open space and interconnecting two buildings

The facilities are split across two locations - approximately 50 metres apart: 93-95 Woodland Road contains 10 desk-stations in SETsquared's shared 'pre-incubation' space plus 30 pre-incubation grow-on desks in 9 separate rooms (each of 2-4 desks). University Gate East contains the main reception and 46 incubation desks in 13 rooms (each of 2-8 desks).

Start/End Date:

University Gate East: 2002
93 Woodland Road: 2002
95 Woodland Road: 2006 (refurbished and connected to 93 Woodland Road)


What are your top tips?

It's about 'soft' space. Spend money on people not facilities.
