Sisk Commences Work On No.1 BHIC In Selly Oak
John Sisk and Son has commenced work on the No.1 Birmingham Health Innovation Campus (BHIC) in Selly Oak.
The development of No.1 BHIC forms the first phase of a ten year masterplan for the Campus being developed by Bruntwood SciTech (a 50:50 joint venture between Bruntwood and Legal & General) in partnership with the University of Birmingham.
Due to be complete in September 2023, No.1 BHIC will provide 133,000 sq ft of specialist office and lab space for innovative life science and digital healthcare companies, in response to increasing demand for space from the sector. It will also house the University of Birmingham’s Precision Health Technologies Accelerator and Birmingham Precision Medicine Centre and provide access to a range of amenities including event space, cafe, car parking and EV charging facilities.
BHIC is a designated Life Science Opportunity Zone and has also been identified by the Department for International Trade as a High Potential Opportunity for Data Driven Healthcare. Sitting at the heart of a critical cluster of health excellence with unparalleled links to University of Birmingham Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, the Campus will be closely aligned to the University of Birmingham clinical trials facility offering companies located at No.1 BHIC access to a fully connected clinical trials translation ecosystem.
When complete the Campus will provide up to 657,000 sq ft of new commercial lab and office space and is expected to catalyse the growth of the region’s life science sector, creating up to 10,000 local jobs and contributing £400m GVA to the region’s economy.
John Sisk and Son has been appointed as the main contractor for No.1 BHIC, supporting Bruntwood SciTech's ongoing commitments to sustainability. Targeting BREEAM 'Excellent', No.1 BHIC will incorporate a number of design measures to reduce carbon emissions, help to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect and enhance the local environment.
No. 1 BHIC is due to complete in September 2023. The entire BHIC development is expected to be completed by 2031.
