Lancaster University - InfoLab21


Contact Details:

Steve Riches, Director of InfoLab21 Knowledge Business Centre

Type of Project:

New build on a new site at the edge of Lancaster University campus. InfoLab21 is part of the Lancaster University campus, located approximately 3 miles south of the city centre of Lancaster. The University sought to bring together the disciplines of Communication Systems and Computing in one building and to create a new technology transfer department to work alongside them, the Knowledge Business Centre, in order to encourage the commercial exploitation of research.

Start/End Date:

The building was initiated in 2003; completed in September 2004 and was officially opened, by Patricia Hewitt, then Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, on 2nd February 2005.
