Offering a new home to emerging and established life science and health businesses, the HiH is a catalyst project for innovation delivered by Kadans in collaboration with the Living Laboratory for Precision Medicine, a University of Glasgow-led programme at the forefront of translating cutting-edge science and innovation into real-world clinical settings.

A multi-tenanted workspace designed to foster collaboration, adaptability, and innovation, it enables tenants to scale up as their research and business needs evolve, creating a dynamic ecosystem for cutting-edge health and life sciences research.

The building’s design draws inspiration from Govan’s shipbuilding past and its future in medical innovation. The rust-red façade, punctuated by carefully spaced glazing that evokes DNA coding, celebrates both the area’s industrial identity and the building’s scientific purpose.

A curved atrium forms the social heart of the building, encouraging informal interaction and knowledge exchange between researchers, entrepreneurs, and clinicians. A ground-floor café and shared collaboration zones create an open, welcoming environment that connects the building to the local community.
