On July 21, a ground-breaking ceremony was held to mark the beginning of construction for the facility, which will provide much-needed laboratory space to support scientific discovery and economic growth.
The facility, set to be completed by the end of 2026, will be named Infinity Labs, symbolising the “limitless potential” that successful scientific start-ups can offer the local economy.
The event was attended by a number of guests who were welcomed for breakfast at the Science Park’s Axis Conference Centre before heading to the construction site for the ceremonial spade-in-the-ground moment.

She said: “It’s always great to be here at Southampton Science Park, witnessing how it develops and grows year on year.
“The new Infinity Labs building is impressive and beautiful.
“It is such an iconic looking building, and a real testament to the Science Park’s determination to grow, to bring high quality jobs to this area, and of course, to make sure that there are facilities that our scientists will use and desperately need.
“So, massive congratulations to the University of Southampton Science Park.
“I can’t wait to see the finished building.”
Southampton Science Park’s CEO, Dr Robin Chave, said: “We are incredibly excited to officially commence construction of this widely anticipated project.
“This new building, the largest to be built at Southampton Science Park to date, is going to provide much-needed facilities for life science and other laboratory-based companies from spin-out and start-up onwards.”
Amiri Construction has been appointed as the principal contractor to bring the project to life.
The 3,400 square metre building has been designed by Scott Brownrigg and will feature a 70:30 laboratory-to-office space ratio with flexible internal configuration.
It will incorporate passive design principles and sustainability, with a living green roof to promote biodiversity and enhance air quality.
