Leading the Way in Sustainability
Hamilton International Technology Park, located just outside Glasgow, has emerged as one of Scotland’s most forward thinking business parks, not just in terms of innovation, but also for its strong commitment to sustainability.
At the heart of the park’s green strategy is its use of wind energy generated at the nearby Blantyre Muir Wind Farm. This clean energy source significantly reduces carbon emissions and helps tenants operate with a much smaller environmental footprint.
Sustainable transport is another key focus. The park is well-served by public transport links and is easily accessible from surrounding areas, reducing the reliance on private vehicles. On-site facilities encourage eco-friendly commuting, with electric vehicle charging.
Hamilton International Technology Park has also invested in environmentally responsible building practices. Recent refurbishments prioritise energy efficiency and sustainable materials, while the park’s green landscaping supports biodiversity and provides attractive, healthy outdoor spaces for employees.
One notable example is the University of the West of Scotland’s Lanarkshire Campus which is situated on the park. It is a state-of-the-art facility powered entirely by renewables and designed to operate with minimal environmental impact. The campus also features solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and advanced energy controls which proves the commitment the park has towards a sustainable future.
