Facilities
At Bristol Digital Futures Institute, we’re developing a £29m+ globally unique research facility right in the heart of Bristol, one the most productive tech clusters in the UK. These detailed descriptions explain how they will work, why they are special and the difference they can make to your team and projects.
The first phase of this development is the conversion of two former 200 year-old industrial buildings into our home for new world-leading facilities.
When fully complete, up to 250 people will work in our specialist spaces, collaboration areas, training and meeting rooms.
Find out more about our new home, it's history and our journey to be part of Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus.
