The development of the Thames Valley Science Park by the University of Reading forms a significant part of the University of Reading’s efforts to further encourage interaction between business and academia. Once completed, the Science Park will provide 800,000 sq ft of laboratory and office space in a campus style setting designed to foster collaboration between innovative, technology-led companies.

The first of the four projected new buildings, the “Getaway Building”, constructed by GRAHAM Construction and masteplanned by Ryder, is the landmark entrance to the park. It is designed to anticipate change, be flexible and adaptable to suite a new generation of occupiers. It is setting the standard and delivering an early identity and brand aspiration for the park.

For this endeavour, Effisus has contributed with the Effisus Ecofacade P-Fix solution, the most efficient and sustainable solution for weatherproofing facade connections.
