The University of Strathclyde Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC) is a centre for technological research based in Glasgow, Scotland. The building, designed by BDP, is located on the John Anderson Campus's southern edge within the city centre's Merchant City district.
History
editThe TIC was funded by the European Regional Development Fund, the Scottish Government and the University of Strathclyde.[1]
Work started on the triangular, nine-story, steel-framed building[2] in March 2012, with a completion date set in 2014.[3] The facility was built to Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) "A" rating standards. The 25,000 m2 (270,000 sq ft) space can accommodate 1,200 workers. The building includes open-plan office spaces, three lecture theaters and areas for specialist laboratory equipment.[citation needed] It opened on 3 July 2015.[4]
Besides the Technology and Innovation Centre, a 5,000 m2 (54,000 sq ft) Industry Engagement Building, located nearby, accommodates 500 workers.[citation needed]
The research carried out at the centre by 850 researchers is focused on engineering, science, bio-nanotechnology, business, energy, health, technology and asset management.[5]
