Beagle Life Science Centers

In 2002 an innovative concept was developed for a series of purpose-built laboratory office centers for biotechnology companies. The name of the concept: Beagle. The first center, Beagle Darwin, was completed in 2006.

 

The success of Beagle Darwin has inspired developers PCS Design & Construction and J.P. van Eesteren united in the v.o.f. The Beagle to build Beagle Zernike: at least as good as its shining example. Both centers are located at the Bio Science Park Leiden.

 

The Beagle centers are appealing to successful young businesses, outgrowing their location and looking for more space and better facilities. The centers offer them high quality laboratory and office accommodation, to be equipped as they see fit.
