£2m fit-out completed at European Marine Science Park

FOUR marine science cluster companies are expanding into new workspace at the European Marine Science Park at Dunstaffnage, near

Oban. This follows completion of a £2m fit-out of the ground floor of the Park’s Malin House by Highlands and Islands Enterprise. Malin House was completed in 2012 and is home to 10 marine sector companies. The new laboratories and offices were designed in consultation with those companies and the work was carried out by local contractor, TSL Ltd. Patogen AS, Tritonia Scientific Ltd and Oceanium have already leased some of the new space, along with Shetland firm Ocean Kinetics, which is expanding into Argyll.
