Hawkins Brown has secured local authority backing for proposals to create a new 15-building life-sciences campus at Stevenage in a project valued at £900m.

The scheme, named “Elevate Quarter”, has been created for UBS Asset Management and Reef Group. It will deliver more than 148,000sq m of space for lab, office, and manufacturing facilities on a site next to pharmaceuticals giant GSK’s existing global R&D facility and Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst. GSK is also a partner for the project.
