The 150,000 sq ft Glasshouse’s central atrium provides co-working, networking and meeting spaces designed to inspire the exchange and sharing of knowledge.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of t400 acre Alderley Park, Glasshouse is located next to the new gym and sports complex – surrounded by a number of scenic walking, running and cycling routes.

The Park also offers up to 100Gb connectivity, meaning businesses within Glasshouse can access next-generation, ultra-fast Wi-Fi and be instantly connected. A new pub and restaurant are set to open in the spring.

Dr Kath Mackay, managing director of Alderley Park, said: “Historically renowned as being home to one of the UK’s pre-eminent life science campuses, the arrival of Glasshouse signifies Alderley Park as a leading destination for innovative tech businesses too.”

“Glasshouse offers everything from coworking to small and larger offices, making it ideal for entrepreneurs and start-ups as well as fast-growing and larger businesses.”

“The convergence of digital technologies with drug discovery is one of the most radical trends in life science of recent years. This unique approach to locating life science and tech businesses in close proximity will help to drive the collaboration needed to inspire the developments and discoveries of the future.”
