What we can offer you
The Science and Innovation Park is a secure, private facility with a round-the-clock on-site security team and, whether you are interested in short- or long-term usage, we will provide you with support through a dedicated site liaison.
The Park is set in a stunning natural area and is made up of over 2km of hardstanding in the form of wide runways and smaller roads, wooded areas and wide-open fields. Peppered with large 50,000 sq ft hangars and numerous smaller office and storage buildings, there are facilities to match all needs.

Testimonials
Our relationship with the Science and Innovation Park has been superb. They have made every effort to welcome us, create a long-term relationship and allow us the freedom to pursue our aim of creating a better built environment. Working with them could not be easier.
David Coley, Prof. of Zero Carbon Design, University of Bath, UK
During planning and delivery of a set of trials, the team were extremely supportive and facilitated our work superbly. All contact and liaison we had was prompt and supportive, demonstrating willingness to help us fully achieve our requirements. We would have no hesitation in using the site again should the requirement arise.

We worked with the Science Museum Group to put together an offsite team building event as part of a company-wide coaching programme. The space allowed us to facilitate the session well and the team came up with a great activity linked to their sustainability goals and aligns well with the values and goals of Johnson Matthey in creating a cleaner future. We are looking forward to working with the Science Museum Group for future events and workshops.

I’ve every confidence that my storage needs at the Park are met. No other facility comes close for its flexibility, and accessible accommodation, policed 24/7. The support of staff is first-rate, too, and the peace of mind that comes with any dealings, priceless! Very highly recommended.
Dr A Ford, Swindon
As a small but evolving business we were excited to connect with the Science and Innovation Park. The offer of siting our business within the Park was without doubt the best choice we could have made.
From arrival, our customers are greeted by the Park’s professional friendly team where excellent secure on-site facilities are a part of this innovative location.
