For over three decades, Western Research Parks have served as a strong link between academics and commerce, and a key contributor to the movement of an idea or a discovery from concept to the marketplace. The original Park, now called Western Discovery Park, is located adjacent to Western University and is home to over 200,000 square feet of office space, lab space and industrial grade space, including the Stiller Centre for Technology Commercialization, one of Canada’s most successful biotechnology incubators.
Western has expanded its Park program and contributed to the opening of two more Parks, a 10 hectare site located alongside Highway 401 called the Western Advanced Manufacturing Park, and a 30 hectare location just south of Highway 402 called the Western-Sarnia-Lambton Research Park.
