Located beside the River Lea in the beautiful and bustling town of Ware in Hertfordshire, Riverlabs is a 440,000 sq ft campus undergoing a phased transformation of existing wet lab space, intelligently upgrading a ready-made location for scale-up life sciences, contract research and manufacturing companies at the most affordable price point in the golden triangle.
The 135 acres masterplan will create a green energy hub that includes green hydrogen production, advanced manufacturing, and AI Enabled Data Centres.
Plans include the potential for a 1GW data centre campus with a target zero carbon in its energy operation. The scheme will harness the 3GW of renewable energy supplies within 50 miles of the site and also the 1.2GW of planned/consented wind and solar developments in the region.
In addition the data centres will utilise advanced cooling technologies that don't place a burden on water resources and strive to achieve full water neutrality.
