HEMISPHERE will be a pair of purpose-built developments providing a bespoke home for cutting-edge commercial and academic laboratories, and creating a key platform in the delivery of the Liverpool City Region Investment Zone.
Taking its name from the two sides of the human brain, HEMISPHERE will embody these characteristics, with each building showcasing its own individual personality and aesthetic while remaining fused through shared connections that allow the transfer of ideas and discoveries.
Located at Paddington Village, Liverpool City Council’s flagship, innovation-led development site in the heart of KQ Liverpool, the highly-sustainable buildings will feature Sciontec’s flexible, all-inclusive workspace product Sciontec AI, which has already proven hugely popular at neighbouring building The Spine.
Occupiers can also enjoy a wide range of amenities including a wellness suite, cycle storage with charging for electric bicycles, and shower facilities, combined with accessible green spaces to support the wellbeing of our occupiers and their teams.
It is expected that work will commence in Spring 2025, with HEMISPHERE One ready to welcome occupiers by early 2027, followed shortly thereafter by HEMISPHERE Two.
Offices
Up to 40,000 sq ft.
Labs
Up to 199,841 sq ft.
Located in the heart of the city’s Knowledge Quarter, Hemisphere is part of Paddington Village, which is home to The Royal Northern College of Physicians at The Spine, University of Liverpool International College and a brand new Novotel.Â
At the centre of all this will be an expansive public square, complete with trees, biophilia, street furniture and numerous places for people to relax and enjoy the Liverpool sunshine.
Getting Around
The bicycle store includes space for a generous 166 bikes and a variety of storage options will be provided suitable for different types of bikes. The facilities also include showers, lockers and vanity space.
Liverpool’s Lime Street and Central Stations are within walking distance. A pilot scheme is current in place at the Paddington Lime Line – a new rapid transit system – connecting Paddington Village to the main train stations and retail core.
HEMISPHERE will have allocated spaces in the existing multi-storey car park at Paddington Village which has a total capacity of 1,250 cars and includes disabled parking bays and electric car charging points.
