With the spotlight firmly on the future prospects of the science industry, Arup and the Fairhursts Design Group, in collaboration with Place North West, have put together an afternoon exploring the links between great building design and great innovation. We will review best practice from leading science facilities in Manchester and across the UK, and discuss how the property community can better support the region’s scientists in a bid to stay at the forefront of UK science.

  • Duncan Parsley, capital projects director, Wellcome Genome Campus
  • Martino Picardo, chief executive, Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst
  • Mark Adey, director, Fairhursts Design Group
  • Jennifer DiMambro, director of engineering, Arup

The event will conclude with a panel discussion focusing on the real opportunities and challenges facing research and how the region’s aspirations can be achieved.
