•Rethinking real estate reuse for life sciences
Industry experts share the ingredients to futureproof stock for the sector
It was a pleasure to host a discussion on Adaptive Reuse for Life Sciences in our London office, bringing together experts from across the sector to share their perspectives on retrofitting buildings for life sciences.
The discussion looked at the fundamentals of life sciences spaces – both physical and digital – and the importance of location and place for current and future users. The conversation then turned to the opportunities, challenges and carbon implications of retrofitting existing buildings in such a specialist sector.
A big thank you to Evelina Grecenko from Estate Gazette for chairing the roundtable and to our group of professionals who joined us to discuss this evolving sector:
- Emily Slupek, Bidwells
