HEMISPHERE

Costing over £56 million to build, HEMISPHERE will have sustainability, health and wellbeing within its DNA.

- Less than 50%of the building will be glazed to reduce heat loss. Also, openable windows to allow the building to breathe naturally
- Vertical risers in the core have been increased in size to deliver 13 litres/ sec of fresh air to office areas. This will help to significantly reduce CO2 levels to below 800ppm
- Additional filtration is included on the rooftop air handing units to minimise the amount of pollution that can come into the building
- An innovative internal wet heating system that captures waste-heat from one part of the building and redistributes it to other areas that require more heating

Paddington Village, Knowledge Quarter

Paddington Village sits at the heart of KQ Liverpool, which is a 450-acre urban Innovation District, and home to some of the world's most influential players in science, health, technology, education, music and the creative and performing arts.

Paddington Village began to rise from the ground back in 2017 and is now home to The University of Liverpool International College, a medical centre, a brand new Multi - Storey Car Park and The Spine. Also, Novotel Liverpool Paddington Village, which provides 221 hotel rooms and 39 studio apartments.

Plans for the remaining plots are advancing at pace, with a brand- new lab space, residential development, and HEMISPHERE.

At the centre of all of this will be an expansive public square, complete with trees, biophilia and street furniture. This will also double as an events space.

As a Sciontec customer at HEMISPHERE, you are part of the wider Knowledge Quarter Liverpool community and have the flexibility to move around within the portfolio.

At HEMISPHERE you will be at the heart of Liverpool's knowledge community, with direct links to leading institutions and adjacent campuses with in excess of 70,000 students. Home to the original Red Brick and internationally renowned Russell Group University (the University of Liverpool), one of the UK's top five young universities (Liverpool John Moores University) and the first institution in the world dedicated to tropical disease research (Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine), Knowledge Quarter Liverpool is a key driver of the Liverpool City Region's knowledge economy and a hub for world-leading innovation. Sciontec can offer partnerships with incoming business to students from their first year of University through to graduation.
