Glasshouse, Alderley Park’s new hub for technology companies and innovative businesses has officially opened. The location is tailored for digital businesses looking to work closely and partner with some of the country’s leading life science start-ups which are already located at the Park’s Mereside campus.
According to the Park, the 150,000 square foot building offers a collaborative workspace providing a place for companies working in areas such as big data, data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) which it says are playing an increasingly key role in drug discovery.
A central atrium reportedly provides a range of co-working, networking and meeting spaces designed to inspire the exchange of knowledge and sharing of ideas. A range of other space options and flexible layouts are also available in the building allowing every business located there to flourish and expand easily as they grow, says the Park.
