Exeter Science Park is unique in terms of its location and impressive growth. Occupying
a 55-acre greenfield site just off junction 29 of the M5, the park benefits from beautiful
surroundings and excellent access links, in particular to London and Bristol. Having
opened its first innovation building in 2015, which is attracting a large number of STEM
businesses, the Park went on to attract the Met Office HPC complex in 2016 and it is
now due to deliver three further buildings to the Park over the next two years.
Enterprise Zone
The park benefits from Enterprise Zone
status as of 1st April 2017, providing
£250K business rate relief over 5 years.
Location
Situated on J29 of the M5, intersecting
with the A30, the Science Park is ideally
located for convenient access. With Exeter
Airport less than a 5 minute commute
away, tenants and visitors can benefit
from a range of daily flights including
to London City Airport. In addition there
is a train line within walking distance
connecting the park to Exeter City Centre
and London Waterloo, and the park has a
dedicated cycle path and bridge to
connect the park up to the City.
The quality-of-life potential of the
location is an impressive part of the USP,
with the park nestling between 140km of
UNESCO coastline and two National
Parks, making it that much easier to
relocate and/or attract talented personnel.
With Exeter Airport less than a 5 minute
commute away, tenants and visitors can
benefit from a range of daily flights to
Manchester, Edinburgh and London City
Airport, with direct access on Docklands
Light Railway (DLR) to Central London.
Environment and sustainabilit y
Set within a greenfield site, the park has
been specifically master-planned in a
campus style to retain the open spaces
as well as preserving the surrounding
wildlife and habitats.
Sustainability is an important feature
of the Park’s culture, with all buildings
meeting a minimum BREEAM Excellent
and park tenants being encouraged and
supported to commute sustainably and
embrace healthy activity within their
working day.
Park communit y
The vision of the park is clear: to attract
and grow Science and Technology
businesses. Having a strong STEM entry
requirement from the start has ensured
that the Park has and will continue to
deliver this vision, attracting and building
a community of likeminded businesses,
building on the growing knowledge-based
