Cambridge Science Park
www.cambridge-science-park.co.ukEstablished by Trinity College in 1970, Cambridge Science Park is the UK's oldest and most prestigious science park.
Now home to 71 hi-tech companies and 5,000 personnel, Cambridge Science Park continues to attract new businesses, from small start-ups and spin-outs to subsidiaries of multinational corporations. The Park covers 152 acres (61.5 Hectares). In total there is 145,540 sq m (1,566,000sq ft) of Research and Development accommodation.
The land where the Park is located, on the north-eastern edge of Cambridge, has belonged to Trinity College since its foundation by King Henry VIII in 1546. It was farm land until World War II when it was requisitioned by the US Army and was used to prepare vehicles and tanks for the D-Day landings in Europe. After the war, the site lay largely derelict and increasingly threatened by planning blight until the decision to develop it was taken in 1970.
