Agricultural space to conduct A3-related research and studies

Agricultural space in close proximity to Roslin Innovation Centre to enable tenant companies and entrepreneurs to conduct Animal Biosciences/Health, Agri-tech and Aquaculture (A3) related research and studies.

This space (previously the Marshall Building) and adjoining farm building was redeveloped and suitably repurposed in 2024, and now provides RIC with an increased offering.

AGRI SPECIFIC SPACE

The Agri Field Station provides a myriad of different rooms, including climate control rooms, offices, and labs areas, as well as connected access to extensive barn space, adjacent to a farm. 

This space is available to existing RIC tenant companies and has been added to the RIC portfolio of managed space and is now attracting interest from external companies with an agri-tech sector.

ENABLING AGRI RESEARCH

With a consistent demand for agriculture research space at Roslin Innovation Centre (RIC), and with a steady growth of existing tenant companies ‘in residence’, the development of an Agri Field Station  helps to address this need and provides a new style of facility to drive forward agriculture research whilst supporting Roslin’s world-leading animal health status.
