Utrecht Holdings

Utrecht Holdings is located in the ‘Alexander Numan’ business centre. This building is managed by Stichting Incubator Utrecht that rents out space to Life Sciences start-ups/companies.

The ten-storey building has a total surface area of 8,500 square meters. Each floor is home to a number of offices, laboratories and lab-support rooms. Three floors, well over 2,000 square metres in total, are used as an incubator facility exclusively for life sciences start-ups.

Life Science Incubator

Next to the existing incubator you wil find the Life Science Incubator (LSI). The Corporate Real Estate & Campus of Utrecht University, commissioned by the Foundation Incubator, buildt this distinctive building of approximately 6,200 m2 GFA. The LSI is a collective building for start-up companies in Life Sciences and accommodates both laboratories and offices. Accessibility, flexibility and efficiency were key in the development of the building. The appearance of the building is professional, businesslike and functional. Space is used efficiently and future growth and decline of users (start-up and SME Life Sciences) is taken into account.

The LSI is a transparent and inviting building, with a lot of glass. Through the use of special solar glazing combined with the oblique positioning of the facade a natural sun-and heat resistance is created. The application with lots of glass has a positive impact on the life cycle costs when it comes to replacement, maintenance and sustainable use of materials. Particular to the design is the central atrium in which an ensemble of bridges and stairs is located that promote meeting and working together.
