The University of Glasgow was awarded £38 million to create the Precision Medicine Living Lab – an internationally leading project focused on translating cutting-edge science and innovation into a real-world clinical setting.
The University of Glasgow and Kadans Science Partner, supported by Scottish Enterprise, announced the construction of a new Health Innovation Hub in Govan, setting the stage for a thriving life sciences cluster in the area. Work on the new Health Innovation Hub began and was completed in summer 2025. The Hub has attracted new innovative businesses into the area and has delivered local benefits to the community through job creation.
The Hub is a flagship investment within the University’s Glasgow Riverside Innovation District (GRID). It is home to commercial businesses as well as the University of Glasgow-led Living Laboratory for Precision Medicine – an internationally leading programme supported by UKRI Strength in Places Funding, which focuses on translating cutting-edge research and healthcare innovation into a real-world clinical setting.
Designed to be highly flexible, the Hub includes both laboratory and office space for life science and health businesses, with research links to both the University of Glasgow and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
Our work included close collaboration with HawkinsBrown to create loose-fit space that can accommodate laboratory or office accommodation whilst delivering new levels of operational carbon performance.
