The Engineering Centre
The Engineering Centre is a unique facility for those working in engineering disciplines. Also housing Future Towns Innovation Hub, this prestigious property offers high quality accommodation where commercial and academic sectors can collaborate, innovate and grow.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors. On the ground floor, are a range of workshops, two of which benefit from roller shutter doors and direct vehicular access. A welcoming communal foyer has a lift and stairs leading to upper floors.
The second floor offers high quality office accommodation along with communal breakout zones, meeting spaces and a kitchen. This floor is also home to the University of Southampton’s Future Towns Innovation Hub, thus offering commercial entities unparalleled opportunities for collaboration with academic research and expertise.
The third floor offers further laboratory facilities. A rooftop photovoltaic installation provides over 30% of the building’s energy requirement, saving around 24 tonnes of CO2 each year. Residents can see this in action via an energy dashboard on the ground floor.
This property is fully wheelchair accessible throughout. Unisex and disabled WCs are situated on each floor, while the ground floor also has showers and lockers. Cycle storage and car parking is provided.
The Engineering Centre is positioned off the main access road. Occupying a central location, it is adjacent to the Axis Conference Centre and offers immediate access to the full range of facilities across the Science Park including Fusion coffee shops, leisure club and Bright Horizons Nursery. The Chilworth Manor Hotel and Chilworth Arms are close by.
