The landmark BREEAM ‘very good’ rated building has been designed by Staffordshire County Council to appeal to growing high-tech research and development companies. Three floors of flexible open plan units are on offer, ranging from 1,000 sq ft, including one floor specifically designed for bespoke client fit-out of high quality laboratory or workshop space.

The first new lease facility built on this scale in Staffordshire for seven years, the site is being developed in partnership between Keele University and Staffordshire County Council and is expected to create more than 130 jobs, stimulating inward investment and attracting international companies looking to move to the region.

The landmark BREEAM ‘very good’ rated building has been designed by Staffordshire County Council to appeal to growing high-tech research and development companies. Three floors of flexible open plan units are on offer, ranging from 1,000 sq ft, including one floor specifically designed for bespoke client fit-out of high quality laboratory or workshop space.

Designed to accommodate growing businesses in the long-term, IC5 will be split into three blocks with flexible open-plan floor space overlooking panoramic views of the Staffordshire countryside. Larger companies, who are looking to establish their headquarters in Staffordshire will be able to lease or buy a whole block, allowing them to benefit from having their own building with a dedicated entrance. Alternatively, each block can be fitted to suit multi-let smaller units. All three floors will feature state-of-the-art specification with fibre optic internet connectivity.

As well as benefiting from on-site facilities management and a range of support services from both the County Council and the Science and Business Park, new tenants to the site will be given access to all academic and research facilities at the University, offering exclusive opportunities for pioneering start-ups, spin-outs and growing international organisations.
