Space Park Leicester is a collaborative community of industry, academics and students working together to drive growth in space and space-enabled sectors.
It builds upon the heritage and space science excellence of the University of Leicester and aims to support the ever-expanding growth of the space sector, boosting economic performance in the East Midlands region.
The community of users in the building prides itself on undertaking world-leading research, impactful innovation and offering a wide range of skills and educational development opportunities.
Space Park Leicester is the result of successful collaboration between the City and University of Leicester and many public sector partners before and during design and construction.
The project transformed a long-disused and contaminated brownfield site in a flood risk zone into a generator of social, economic and environmental improvement.
The four and five storey pavilions and two storey specialist laboratory wing, which is capable of upward extension, sit alongside parkland, furthest from the adjacent low-rise housing to the west and close to mature tree canopies.
