Infinity Labs will provide 3,400 sqm of new laboratory space at the entrance to the Southampton Science Park.

Main contractor Amiri Construction broke ground this week under a £16m contract, with the new landmark is expected to complete in 2026.

As described by project architects Scott Brownrigg, the curved three-storey building “will activate a sweeping bend at the main entrance to the site and feature a sloping green roof, helping to embed the structure within the landscape and enhance biodiversity onsite”.

Science Park chief executive Robin Chave said: “This new building, the largest to be built at Southampton Science Park to date, is going to provide much-needed facilities for life science and other laboratory-based companies from spin-out and start-up onwards. It will play a significant role in helping the life science cluster in the region to grow and prosper, building on the talent emerging from our universities and shining a light on the investment potential across the south central economy.”
