The Rosalind Franklin Laboratory has been put up for sale less than a year after Warwick District Council gave it permission to keep operating.

As reported by the BBC, the Harrison Way 'mega lab' is being marketing by property agent Avison Young - although the price is only available by request.

The site first opened in July 2021 - six months later than intended - to help tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.

Originally given permission to run until February 2023, the United Kingdom Health Security Agency was granted full planning permission by the council for the former Axiom building to permanently become a medical research facility last December.

Permission was also granted for the Old Ford Foundry Car Park, on Myton Road, to be resurfaced and marked with 508 parking spaces, including 26 for EV charging.

The listing on the Avison Young website says the facility has nine lab lines with associated logistics, office and amenity area within self-contained secure facility.

"The building presents the opportunity for an occupier to take the entire site (or parts) dependent on the size and scale of the business," it says.

"It is suitable for a wide range of occupiers including a start up's, scale up's and SME's through to large scale established operators.

"One notable key feature is the central opportunity space (approx. 72m x 31m) which lies within a central position between lab line four and lab line five and has been left as clear space.

"This area can be used to further include three more lab lines or one larger lab space with potential to provide a bespoke CL3 facility. Gantry platforms area already in place for a full and immediate fit out."
