Workspace for Rent

Keele Innovation District offers a wide range of flexible workspace suitable for innovation-led businesses at every stage of growth.

Existing accommodation within the Keele Science and Innovation Park includes small incubation suites for start-ups, flexible office space for growing SMEs, and larger fitted office and laboratory environments for established occupiers.

Current space ranges from smaller suites of approximately 200–500 sq ft through to larger office, laboratory and innovation spaces exceeding 10,000 sq ft, with opportunities for bespoke configurations depending on occupier requirements.

The existing Science and Innovation Park is already home to more than 60 businesses across life sciences, health technologies, digital, energy and advanced manufacturing sectors, creating a collaborative and highly connected business environment.

Occupiers benefit from access to high-quality digital infrastructure, meeting and collaboration facilities, hotel accommodation, cafés, parking, EV charging and wider campus amenities within an attractive landscaped setting adjacent to the M6.

Specialist Facilities

Businesses located within the Innovation District can access a broad range of specialist facilities, technical expertise and research capabilities linked to Keele University.

This includes access to laboratories, specialist testing and research environments, meeting and event facilities, business support services and opportunities to collaborate directly with academic researchers, graduates and innovation programmes.

The wider campus environment also provides extensive amenities that support both business activity and quality of life, including sports facilities, cafés, restaurants, hotel accommodation, conference facilities, green spaces and sustainable energy infrastructure.

Keele’s established innovation ecosystem is designed to support collaboration, networking and knowledge exchange between businesses, researchers and students.

Plots for Sale

A limited number of development-ready plots are currently available within the existing Keele Science and Innovation Park for organisations seeking bespoke office, laboratory, R&D or advanced manufacturing facilities.

Approximately 20 acres of land remains available within the current Science Park area, although much of this is already earmarked for future phases of development and occupier expansion.

Plots can accommodate a variety of requirements, from smaller bespoke innovation buildings through to larger development opportunities of up to approximately 5 acres for research, manufacturing or production-led occupiers.

The emerging Keele Innovation District masterplan also identifies opportunities for larger-scale future expansion linked to allocated employment sites and new infrastructure connections.

With direct access to the M6, strong regional connectivity and proximity to world-class research expertise, Keele offers an exceptional long-term location for innovation-led investment and growth.

Innovation Collaboration

Keele Innovation District is designed to create an open and connected innovation community where businesses, researchers, students and public sector partners work alongside one another to accelerate innovation and commercial growth.

Organisations based within the district can engage with research partnerships, collaborative innovation programmes, graduate talent pipelines, networking events and sector-focused initiatives linked to Keele University’s research strengths in life sciences, health, digital technologies, energy systems and advanced materials.

The ambition is to move beyond a traditional science park model towards a fully integrated innovation district where learning, research, enterprise and living are brought together within a vibrant mixed-use environment.

Businesses locating at Keele become part of a wider ecosystem focused on collaboration, knowledge exchange and long-term innovation-led growth.
