Welcome
The masterplan
Check out The masterplan section for an overview of the Knowledge Gateway development proposals.
Set in 43 acres of mature parkland adjoining the greater University of Essex
campus in Colchester, the Knowledge Gateway is set to become one of the prime
locations for research and business in Essex. It will offer occupiers a
competitive advantage through an attractive setting and exceptional working
environment in new office and R & D space with immediate access to the
University’s research and business development activities and use of a unique
range of established on-campus leisure, conference, hotel, catering and retail
facilities.
While open to all, knowledge based business and organisations in the
following sectors are likely to have particular interest in the support the
University can offer:
- Software development, telecommunications and technology
- Market research, survey design and data analysis
- Marketing , PR and publishing
- Legal, professional and business services
- Health and social care
- Assisted living
- Social enterprise, governmental and non-governmental
organisations
