Due for completion in 2011, Vanguard House will occupy a key location on the Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus (www.daresburysic.co.uk) which is at the heart of the Government’s science and innovation strategy. Established in 2006, Daresbury is one of two national science and innovation campuses.
The Campus is supported by six stakeholders – Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Halton Borough Council and the Universities of Lancaster, Liverpool and Manchester. The NWDA is funding the construction of Vanguard House, taking the Agency’s investment on the Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus to over £67m.
The Campus is home to 800 people including world-class scientists in the STFC Daresbury Laboratory and the Cockcroft Institute(National Centre for Accelerator Science), and entrepreneurs in almost 100 high-tech businesses. Sectors strongly represented include digital/ICT/telecoms, healthcare, advanced engineering/instrumentation and energy and environmental technologies.

There are over 14,000 registered users of the Daresbury Laboratory facilities and it has links with every research university in the UK.
