NG is already the retained managing agent for Mowbray House, the 57,000 sq ft home of law firm Browne Jacobson on the campus and assists the University of Nottingham with the management of the wider estate.
Now they have been asked to manage Building F, a 39,000 sq ft building also located on the Campus, on behalf of the University of Nottingham. This will be the second innovation park for the University of Nottingham Innovation Park (UNIP), who will be creating a new data, design and digital hub offering serviced workspaces at Castle Meadow Campus. UNIP will create an innovation community that brings together companies, innovators, entrepreneurs and the University’s knowledge base, with the aim of generating new opportunities, businesses and jobs for the people of Nottingham.
The UNIP space is now open and welcoming people interested in flexible workspace co-located with the University of Nottingham.
University of Nottingham completed a deal to buy the Castle Meadow Campus (former HMRC HQ) in late 2021. It comprises seven buildings and 351,247 sq ft including six three or four storey buildings plus the Central Building – a 200-seater event space opening in Summer 2025.
The site was acquired in 2021 by Blackstar Advisory acting on behalf of The University.
There is a vibrant community already forming on Castle Meadow Campus, with The King’s Trust’s East Midlands hub, INFINITY - the inclusive finance and tech hub, Connect Nottingham and City as Lab’s state-of-the-art research and collaboration facilities, Nottingham University Business School’s Executive Education team and the Human Flourishing project. The city centre location will enable increased collaboration with strategic partners and the local community just five-minutes away from Nottingham train station.
Alice Cooper-Reeve (Chief Executive Officer) and Ian Underdown (Chief Operating Officer) of UNIP added: It has been a great experience working with the NG team. They share our values to work collaboratively and build trust. Having NG on hand to support our community within the building adds huge strength to the campus offering.
Jude Weston, Director at NG Chartered Surveyors, added:
"We are thrilled to be appointed by the University of Nottingham to manage another of their buildings at Castle Meadow Campus and look forward to working further with the University and with Alice, Ian and their team as they settle into their new home.”
