EGNI (M-SParc) – Contractor Event

Overview of the Project

Bangor University is currently finalising a business case to request funding from the North Wales Growth Deal to deliver Egni, a new low/zero carbon two-storey development on the M-SParc site in Gaerwen, Anglesey.

Egni will provide an estimated 1,000m² of new business incubation and research collaboration space (total building size of approximately 1,727m²) with complementary business development support. It will create additional offices, workshops and laboratories, training and circulation/reception space.

To exploit the potential of the new space it will include the provision of targeted interventions for tenants, and business support to grow the low carbon sector in North Wales.  It will foster collaboration and nurture the cross-fertilisation of ideas between academia and industry, researchers and engineers, to place Bangor University, M-SParc, and the North Wales region at the forefront of UK innovation.

The project will provide an additional 40 parking spaces to supplement the existing provision in addition to landscaping a proportion of the site adjacent to the new building. A sub-station is already present on site and will feed

the new building. The drainage solution will be developed further in the next phase. The drainage proposal will require approval via SAB, and discharge of a reserved matters planning condition. Increased bio-diversity and landscaping will also be provided.
