Technology & Innovation Centre
The Technology & Innovation Centre (TIC) by the University of Strathclyde is a nine storey collaborative research and conference centre in the city centre of Glasgow. The building provides research spaces, collaborative meeting spaces and laboratories for around 900 staff. Additionally the building provides conference facilities and meeting rooms, including a 450 and 150 seat auditorium.
The TIC project by the University of Strathclyde (UoS) in Glasgow was highly ambitious and the results are truly transformational. With a project value in the region of £89million it was the single largest projectin the Scottish higher education sector at the time, and is unique in that it is not directed at under-graduate teaching, indeed teaching in the traditional sense plays no part in the TIC programme. Instead the TIC bridged the gap between academia and industry and in so doing strengthen collaboration and encourage true innovation in practical research working.
