The Superfloor

Shared spaces designed to foster connections.

The c.3,000sqm Superfloor will set a new global benchmark for innovation community curation and tenant amenity. A dedicated collaboration space that connects the Precinct, the Superfloor is accessible to all tenants and has been designed by leading architect Woods Bagot. The Superfloor will be at the heart of the innovation community and foster a culture of collaboration and be supported by a dedicated team of curators and connectors.

The Superfloor will be open and operational between 7am and 8pm Monday-Friday. Out of hours access and events can be organised by special arrangement.

Showcase and Inspire
The Superfloor will host a programme of events including pitches, demo days, hackathons, launches, exhibitions, skills development, social and cultural events – events will be designed to provide an immersive experience that accelerates mindset growth, the rate of knowledge sharing and data-driven innovation.

Connect and Grow
Tenants will be able to work with the precinct team to deliver bespoke activations, exhibits and events. Tenant-led events will complement the numerous curated events that will take place on the Superfloor and enable tenant companies to engage directly with graduates, researchers and fellow innovators.
