Edinburgh BioQuarter

Edinburgh BioQuarter is a landmark life science real estate development which will establish Edinburgh and Scotland as one of the world’s top ten centres for biomedical commercialisation. Located alongside the new Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, BioQuarter is a major public and private sector collaboration across a large adjacent greenfield site.

A unique range of facilities

Unique to the UK, Edinburgh BioQuarter is the only location to offer a large state-of-the-art teaching hospital, the University of Edinburgh’s world-renowned medical school and bespoke biomedical research and development facilities all on one site. The existing BioQuarter site is home to a community of over 1,200 dedicated researchers.

With its international reputation for scientific excellence, the University of Edinburgh is a global leader in the fields of cardiovascular science, reproductive biology, inflammation, infectious disease, neuroscience, regenerative medicine and advanced imaging.

The newly opened 100-acre site at BioQuarter will ultimately provide more than 500,000 square feet of further academic research space and an additional 900,000 square feet of accommodation for commercial research-based companies.
