Hemisphere Two: A Next-Generation Innovation Hub in Liverpool

Hemisphere Two is an upcoming cutting-edge laboratory and workspace development in Liverpool's Knowledge Quarter, strategically located in Paddington Village. Positioned alongside The Spine, this ambitious project is being developed by Sciontec-a partnership between Liverpool City Council, the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, and Bruntwood SciTech.

Key Features include -

Size and Scope
Spanning approximately 99,500 sq ft, Hemisphere Two will bring the total space across both Hemisphere buildings to 217,000 sq ft. The building is designed to accommodate the growing demand for high-quality laboratory and office space in the region.

Laboratory Facilities
The development will feature open-access laboratories on the ground floor, specialist chemistry labs, and is a strong contender to house the Pandemic Preparedness and Response Laboratories, a crucial step in bolstering public health infrastructure.

Sustainable Design
With a commitment to environmental sustainability, Hemisphere Two aims to be operationally net-zero carbon. Its design includes:
30% less embodied carbon
30% lower energy consumption
40% reduction in glazing
20% increase in natural ventilation

These elements significantly exceed standard office building benchmarks.

Amenities and Accessibility
Designed with wellness and accessibility in mind, Hemisphere Two will offer a wellness studio, outdoor workspaces, and 166 secure cycle spaces with e-bike charging stations-all to encourage healthy, sustainable commuting.

Innovation Ecosystem Integration
As part of the Liverpool City Region's Innovation Zone, Hemisphere Two will play a vital role in creating a thriving ecosystem for life sciences and pharmaceutical industries. Through Sciontec AI, it will provide flexible, scalable workspace solutions tailored to the needs of forward-thinking, high-growth businesses.

Timeline
Construction is expected to begin following the completion of Hemisphere One in 2027, aligning with Liverpool's long-term strategic vision to enhance its capacity for world-class laboratory and innovation spaces.
