A world-class life science and health innovation facility including up to six buildings with laboratory and incubation space, located in the University of Birmingham's academic and clinical cluster.

Birmingham Health Innovation Campus (BHIC) is a world-class life science and health innovation facility and is one of only six Life Science Opportunity Zones within the UK.

Developed in partnership with the University of Birmingham, the campus will be situated in the heart of an academic and clinical cluster, closely located to the University and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital as well as a number of other leading healthcare institutions. The masterplan includes up to six buildings providing dedicated laboratory and incubation facilities. Once built, the campus will provide state-of-the-art space for the West Midlands’ life sciences sector, support up to 10,000 jobs and bring around £400 million to the regional economy.

No.1 BHIC opens in September 2023. The 133,000 sq ft building will be home to the University’s Precision Health Technologies Accelerator, with 68,000 sq ft of commercial lab and office space available to rent.

BHIC is a real milestone in the evolution of the West Midlands as a health innovation and connected healthcare technologies powerhouse. The region has all the raw ingredients the sector needs - world-class universities, specialist NHS Trusts, quality infrastructure and a growing cluster of SMEs - to support the journey from early R&D to manufacture and market adoption of new health products and services. The Campus will be the epicentre where all these come together and attract further inward investment to ensure the West Midlands has one of the country’s most exciting life sciences propositions for years to come.
