Sciontec expands contract at The Spine

Sciontec has been successfully re-appointed to manage serviced office space at The Spine in Knowledge Quarter Liverpool.

As part of the renewed contract with the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), Sciontec will now manage additional space in the building and also introduce new hotdesking ‘day passes’ at the iconic building.

Sciontec, the development company spin-out of KQ Liverpool, will also continue to offer its Sciontec AI (all inclusive) serviced space offer on the building’s first, second and tenth floors, which already boasts customers including Zempler Bank, the University of Liverpool, Morgan Sindall Construction, Clixels and RTC North.

The new agreement, which follows a successful tender process, further builds on Sciontec’s portfolio of innovation spaces across KQ Liverpool, which also includes Liverpool Science Park’s three buildings, CENTRAL TECH and the 110,000 sqft lab and office development, HEMISPHERE. 

The Spine is located at Paddington Village, Liverpool City Council’s flagship development site, and is home to the northern headquarters of the RCP, adjacent to where Sciontec’s HEMISPHERE labs building will be built.

Leanne Katsande, head of commercial at Sciontec, said:

“The Spine is a totem of excellence in KQ Liverpool and represents both the present and the future of what we want to achieve collectively in our city’s innovation district. 

“We are proud to have worked with the City over a number of years in making Paddington Village a hub for innovation and in bringing the RCP to the City Region, and are therefore delighted to continue working with the RCP, to manage an increased number of spaces within the building.

“We look forward to creating even more exciting spaces for pioneering organisations to start, scale and thrive.”

Catherine Powell, Interim CEO at the RCP, said: 

“We’re proud to be part of KQ Liverpool, where innovation and collaboration drive progress. Sciontec’s ambition for world-class workspaces aligns with our commitment to creating healthy, inspiring environments for our own employees, members and fellows to enjoy. 

“The Spine is a hub for education, assessment, and connection, and we’re excited to continue our work with Sciontec and Liverpool City Council to attract a vibrant community of forward-thinking organisations.”

Professor Mark Power, vice-chancellor at Liverpool John Moores University and chair of Sciontec, said:

“This contract renewal is testament to the outstanding workspaces and customer service that Sciontec provides for its customers at The Spine. 

“Managing an increased floorplate as part of the deal is a fantastic addition to Sciontec’s expanding portfolio, which will be further enhanced in the coming years with its plans for new-build lab and office space development, HEMISPHERE.”
