Newcastle Science City’s first building is set to open its doors in November

The Core, the first building on Science Central, is set to open for business on 3 November 2014, following a 12 month construction programme.

Owned by Newcastle City Council, The Core, which spans seven floors, will create approximately 2,750 sq m of serviced office space for high growth technology and science-based businesses, with additional event space for business networking and activities.

Over half of the building is already pre-let to tenants, including a rapidly-growing software developer and significant academic and industry research partnerships.

Leader of Newcastle City Council, Cllr Nick Forbes, said: “The Core is much more than a state-of-the-art building - it is a bold statement of confidence in Newcastle.

“The fact that more than half of the building is already let - four months before it is due to open - shows a real demand among businesses who want to locate in Newcastle.

Managed by Creative Space Management, The Core offers flexible terms suitable for high growth businesses, 24-hour access, free private meeting rooms and hyperfast fibre broadband connectivity.

Science Central is delivered by Newcastle Science City, a partnership between Newcastle City Council and Newcastle University.

The Core has been part-funded through the European Union Regional Development Fund 2007-2013 (ERDF) and by the Regional Growth Fund.
