A biomedicaland sciencecentre ofexcellence.

Welcome to Citylabs 1.0Citylabs 1.0 is a 100,000 sq ft biomedical centre of excellence located in the heart of Manchester’s ‘Innovation District’ on the Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CMFT) campus, the largest clinical academic campus in Europe.

A partnership development by Manchester Science Partnerships (MSP), Bruntwood, CMFT and Manchester City Council. Citylabs 1.0 comprises a beautiful Grade II listed building and new purpose built facilities for life science companies, joined by a stunning glass atrium.

The unique partnership approach to its development, and location on the CMFT campus, means that companies based at Citylabs 1.0 have direct access to specialist clinical resources and expertise from researchers, clinicians and procuerment teams based within the hospitals. This enables a better understanding of patient and clinician needs and the ability to develop and trial new medical technologies in a clinical setting and grow your business.

Citylabs 1.0 is one of the only developments of its kind in the UK, representing a stronger relationship between the NHS, scientific and academic communities and industry, alongside being strategically aligned with the NHS’ ‘Innovation, Health and Wealth’ agenda.

CorridorManchesterCitylabs 1.0 is located on Corridor Manchester, a 243 hectare area home to a wealth of knowledge intensive organisations and businesses.

These operate in the areas of health innovation – with particular concentrations in biomedical, clinical trials, medical devices and diagnostics. It also includes important industries related to healthcare, such as information communication technologies, digital and creative industries.

• Today the Corridor generates £3 billion, 20% of the city’s GVA.

• 60,000 people work on the Corridor, 18% of the city’s workforce.

• 55% of the activity is in knowledge intensive sectors, significantly higher than the national (22%) and regional (21%) averages.

The combination of GVA and knowledge intensive industries makes the Corridor the economic powerhouse of the city and it is expected to generate 20,000 jobs over the next decade.

Citylabs 1.0 is located in the heart of this activity and the value of capital investments over the next ten years will be over £1.6 billion.

The building has been designed to accommodate dedicated fume cupboard extraction for high specification laboratory fit out. The Grade A space accommodates mechanical ventilation, heating and cooling throughout the building so you have individual suite level control of your space.

A BREEAM Excellent building design, the development makes every effort to use sustainable low energy systems that minimise running costs and carbon emissions.

This space plan which demonstrates a mix of office and laboratory use, gives an indication of the scale of the space available within the building.

The size of the floor plate provides sufficient space to enable a mix of office, administrative, lab and meeting space all on one floor. Most importantly it is entirely configurable to your needs.

Customers can take whole floors or part and we can be flexible in how we accommodate the space and your needs.

With an inhouse space planning team on hand, we are more than happy to help you with visualising alternate layout options to suit your bespoke requirements.

Manchester: Science City Manchester is a city with innovation, collaboration and world firsts running though its history.

From the first free public library to the first stored memory computer being developed at The University of Manchester, being the place where the first test tube baby was born and the world’s first hip replacement was carried out to being home to the discovery of graphene, it is, and always has been, a city of pioneers.

The North West’s well established and fast growing biomedical sector includes a diverse range of internationally recognised specialist R&D and clinical research facilities. With its strong links to the clinical research base, The University of Manchester’s excellence in basic and applied clinical research provides the region with world leading assets in biomedical science.

The city draws on an incredible talent pool, with five universities located in the city region and twenty two universities within an hour of the centre. The University of Manchester is one of the largest and most accomplished in the world, with more than 5,000 biotech and medical graduates per year alone.

Core to the city’s achievements is the spirit of partnership that enables the right organisations to come together and realise Manchester’s aspirations and plans for economic growth through innovation.

The city council, the universities, hospitals and private sector all work together to attract companies from around the globe that will benefit from the opportunities that Manchester provides – maximising collaboration, commercialising research and accelerating innovation.

Health is our Business

Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CMFT) is one of the UK’s leading centres for translational research. It supports research in a diverse range of clinical areas and regularly recruits first global patients into studies.

We believe that clinical research is most successfully translated into improved care for patients through the combined efforts of patients, clinicians, industry working in partnership.

Greater Manchester is in the top three UK regions for delivering industry clinical studies. It is home to a large, diverse and stable patient population. Some 2.7 million people live in Greater Manchester with demographics representative of all major developed world disease areas, ethnic groups and areas of considerable deprivation. Over one million patients per year are cared for across our eight hospitals and community services.

Companies looking to work closely with researchers will find Citylabs 1.0 to be the ideal location at the heart of the clinical-academic campus. We share our campus with our neighbour The University of Manchester. We work together to train healthcare professionals, many of our researchers hold joint appointments, and our research strategies are aligned.

Our focus areas are:

• Musculoskeletal medicine

• Genomic medicine

• Women’s and children’s health

• Cardiovascular disease

• Hearing and deafness

The international quality of our translational research, innovation, education and clinical service is recognised through the Manchester’s Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC)accreditation The MAHSC partnership includes CMFT, The University of Manchester and five other NHS organisations. Together, we are one of only six AHSCs in the UK and the sole AHSC outside of the South East.

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) accreditations of our clinical research facility and musculoskeletal biomedical research unit, along with our appointment as host of the NIHR Clinical Research Network: Greater Manchester, are also indicative of the quality of our research. We are also home to the Manchester Centre for Genomic Medicine. Delivered in collaboration with The University of Manchester, this is one of the most comprehensive units in Europe offering an integrated academic and clinical service that is driving forward the precision medicine agenda.

We provide an efficient and effective service that delivers on our customers’ needs to free them up to focus on their business. We are continually looking for ways in which we can deliver better value for our industry partners.
