Virginia BioTechnology Research Park

Science Park Community

From historic architecture to arts, culture, dining and exciting activities on and alongside the James River, the Research Park offers both a stimulating research environment and a wide range of options for living, working and playing in the city.

The Virginia BioTechnology Research Park is situated on 34 acres in the heart of Richmond, Virginia’s capital city. Located adjacent to the VCU Medical Center, the Park and VCU together are one of the largest and most vibrant life sciences clusters on the East Coast of the United States. The combined research, business, education and patient-care facilities total more than 7 million square feet of space, once new facilities underway are completed. The population of the scientific and life sciences business community exceeds 12,000 professionals and support personnel. Within a short walk are museums, restaurants, coffee shops, theaters, art galleries, a wide range of business and professional services and the James River, which provides opportunities for both active and passive recreation of all types. The Historic Jackson Ward neighborhood borders the Research Park, offering employees the opportunity to live close by in renovated historic row houses, contemporary urban lofts, new townhomes, condominiums or apartments. Hotels, meeting and conference facilities are also conveniently located.
