Construction work has started on site for a new Innovation Centre in Northshore.

The regeneration scheme is owned by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), on the banks of the River Tees next to Stockton-on-Tees town centre.

The three-storey, 36,000 sq ft building constructed to a BREEAM Very Good specification is a partnership project between Muse, Stockton Council, Teesside University and the HCA. The project went ahead following £2.87 million investment from the North East European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) with HCA providing the match funding. Located centrally within the Northshore development, the building will provide flexible space for new and growing SMEs in the digital, scientific and creative sectors.

As well as flexible office space provided in two rectangular office wings either side of a glazed central atrium, the building will feature a training suite, meeting rooms and a seminar facility designed to maximise interaction and networking between occupiers.
