Work on the new Innovation Centre in Workington has been completed as fit-out starts for summer opening.

The building has been handed over to Oxford Innovation Space, who will fit-out the building in preparation for an opening in summer 2026.

The new facility will provide purpose-built accommodation for entrepreneurial businesses, as well as bringing new modern office accommodation to Workington, something currently lacking in the town.

It will also complement another Workington Town Deal project, the Digital Accelerator Hub at Lakes College.

It is prioritising skills and employability to strengthen a new generation of digital expertise.

Morgan Sindall Construction was the main contractor for the project.
