The Food and Environment Research Agency - commercial space
The leader in flexible laboratory space for ambitious science businesses
Collocated on the science campus of a world renowned laboratory within 8 miles of York, one of the UK's first designated Science Cities, York Science and Enterprise Centre provides a fantastic location for science technology businesses looking to grow.
Modern well thought out laboratory facilities provide a flexible environment that can be reconfigured, overnight if necessary, in response to short-term business opportunity or can be adapted and expanded to meet longer term business growth.
The high specification laboratory space can support diagnostic and analytical research, from wet chemistry through to molecular technology, and can as easily be configured to meet the needs of high throughput laboratory based production methods.
Naturally, any business will be self contained and secure but will also benefit from the 24hr manned perimeter security of the science campus, within which is the Centre's own dedicated onsite parking.
