Citylabs 4.0, the newest phase of Manchester’s world-leading health innovation campus, has officially opened its doors. Developed by Bruntwood SciTech in a joint venture with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, this state-of-the-art, 125,000 sq ft, specialist lab and office development is the latest addition to Manchester’s health innovation cluster. It also marks the completion of the fourth Citylabs project we have worked on for Bruntwood Scitech in #Manchester. The growing campus has been a key driver behind the recent expansion of the city's #LifeSciences sector which now ranks third in the UK, after Oxford and Cambridge, for sector growth. For the Sheppard Robson designed Citylabs 4.0, we worked alongside Arup, Gardiner & Theobald LLP and Layers, delivering a 100% electric design and achieving net zero #carbon in both #construction and operation in its shared spaces. The building also includes 208m² of solar panels, capable of generating enough energy to charge an electric vehicle over 1,200 times. 🔗 Find out more and watch a flythrough of the new space via the link: https://lnkd.in/e6PRpqGX

Project Spotlight: Inventa. This major new purpose built scheme transforms a redundant retail unit and warehouse in #Oxford to create 65,000 sq ft of much needed #laboratory and #office space to support the burgeoning UK life sciences industry. Led by Mission Street and BGO, we worked alongside Owers Warwick Architects and a project team of Buro Four, Elliott Wood and Abakus Consulting, to deliver two floors of flexible, high end space that exceeds modern #sustainability standards. With an all-electric services design for the development, including heating and cooling, we are helping to ensure the building is futureproofed. Our #sustainability team worked with the design team and contractor to achieve #BREEAM Very Good. Over 8,000 sq ft of shared collaboration space encourages teamwork and innovation, as well as a publicly accessible café, improved landscaping and a new cycle centre. Inventa has been shortlisted for a 2025 British Council for Offices (BCO) Award in the Refurbished/Recycled Workplace category.

In our latest blog, Sian Grimsley, an Environmental Consultant based in our #Manchester office, shares her journey studying for a Master's Degree alongside her work here at Hilson Moran. Sian started an Air Pollution Management & Control MSc at the University of Birmingham in 2023, supported by Hilson Moran with tuition coverage and flexible work arrangements. Her dissertation, which compared traditional and AI-driven modelling methods for air pollution, allowed Sian to dive deep into the science behind dense urban environments, and even apply her findings to ongoing projects at Hilson Moran. If you're looking to further your career, or tips on how to balance study and work, Sian's blog offers practical insights and inspiration from someone who’s successfully made it work! 🔗 Check out the full post here: https://lnkd.in/eQJm_MDN #AirQuality #EnvironmentalScience #CareerDevelopment
