text: BioCity Nottingham | Join the Bright Sparks of Science Startups at BioCity
  A short walk from Nottingham city centre, this former Boots R&D centre has been transformed into floors of flexible lab and office space perfect for life science startups and scaleups. The site is made up of four buildings all with their own personality and quirks. The newest addition 'Discovery', 50,000 sq ft scale-up space, is donned with an award-winning sculpture, which lights up the night sky using live activity from the surface of the sun, taken from NASA satellites. Companies based here enjoy complimentary yoga classes, on site bike storage and modern co-working space with a pool table.
  Scaleup your space without the risk of lengthy leases. Take on new labs with just one month's notice with the option to scale back with only three months' notice. The flexible and modular lab space is perfect for life science startups and scaleups, including Class 1 and 2, GCP and GMP life science labs with fully extracted and recirculating fume hoods.
  Layout not quite working for you? With our in-house engineers, get the essentials like benching, data points and storage just right for your team and the way they work.
  Enjoy weekly social events such as complimentary yoga or join us for a 'Wise Words, In Conversation with…' salon-style event. Industry leaders share their thoughts, experiences and most importantly, the lessons learnt over a beer or two with our invited audience of BioCity business leaders. Learn from the best and connect with the community.
  The cluster effect of BioCity attracts benefits and opportunities not typically available to startups. Invitation-only pitching competitions, investment opportunity roundups, unique collaborations and trade visits are regular features for BioCity based life science startups.
  We are lucky enough to have two cafes at BioCity Nottingham. The Kitchen at BioCity (for BioCity based companies only) has comfy seating, a pool table, family-size tables and a relaxed atmosphere. The Kitchen is the perfect spot to take a break from work. The Mini Kitchen at BioCity (open to the public) has a seasonal menu made fresh in-house with locally sourced ingredients, taking you through from breakfast to afternoon pick-me-up. One thing that never changes is the quality of coffee, with beans sourced from award winning local roastery, 200°.
