Work has begun to knock down the Base building near the University of Manchester on Oxford Road and replace it with a five-storey, 91,000 sq ft workspace for computer engineering, manufacturing, science and technology companies.
The project, led by Manchester Science Partnerships comprising developer Bruntwood SciTech, Manchester City Council and the University of Manchester, was due to start earlier this year after planning consent was granted in January. However, disruption related to Covid-19 caused delays to the construction timeframe.
Caddick Construction is the main contractor on the £21m Base redevelopment, which marks the latest step forward for the city’s Oxford Road Corridor innovation district.
