RUNWAY PARK - EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD’S INNOVATION DISTRICT

Runway Park is an innovation-driven district linking the University of Sheffield’s world-class research with growing companies and real-world industry challenges.

Situated on the former Sheffield airport site just minutes from the motorway network, rail links and Sheffield City Centre.

With major investment in R&D and a strong university connection, it is planned to deliver cutting-edge solutions, already home to the UK’s first reconfigurable digital factory, advanced materials labs, and large-scale testing facilities.

At Runway Park, you’ll be based alongside innovative companies like Boeing and cutting-edge facilities already collaborating with leading academics to advance technology and manufacturing. As part of the UK’s first Investment Zone in South Yorkshire, Runway Park sits within a wider innovation ecosystem designed to accelerate growth, research, and commercial impact.

Runway Park has been designed to suit occupiers with their own ideas of custom builds. We’re lifting the limits and getting ready with logistics access & energy infrastructure that’s designed to support some of the most unique spaces in the UK.

With existing operations well established such as AMRC Factory 2050 and significant infrastructure in place, the park has ambitious growth plans to provide a 100-acre masterplanned site to bring innovation and manufacturing together with spaces to connect.
