A multi-million pound research and development facility that could create thousands of jobs is to be the latest addition to Liverpool’s burgeoning knowledge quarter.
The green light has been given to Sciontec to construct its eight storey Hemisphere building on land at Paddington Village, previously occupied by Archbishop Blanch girls’ school.
The development will sit alongside existing major projects including The Spine, a 14-storey building occupied by the Royal College of Physicians, the 17- storey Novotel Hotel, the 13-storey ‘live-learn’ facility of University of Liverpool International College, the Rutherford Cancer Centre, and a 1,250 space multi-storey car park.
