BCO East Anglia Seminar: Repurposing commercial space for Life Science and R&D use

As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of urban development and sustainability, repurposing existing office spaces has become a key strategy. This approach not only addresses the increasing demand for specialised research and development environments, but also aligns with the global push towards sustainability by minimising the need for new construction

In this seminar, we will explore:
• The growing need for laboratory and R&D spaces – driven by advancements in technology, biotech, and other research-intensive industries
• The benefits and challenges of retrofitting existing office spaces – highlighting why this strategy is both a sustainable and cost-effective solution
• Key factors in selecting suitable locations – including infrastructure, environmental considerations, and local regulations

At the end of this discussion, Arcadis aim to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively identify and transform office spaces into cutting-edge, sustainable laboratories and R&D facilities – which meet the needs of today’s most innovative industries.
