A NEW VENUE FOR THOUGHT

Formerly owned by the Ministry of Defence, IQ Farnborough’s 125 acre site has a rich past, previously being home to the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), which was purchased by SEGRO in 1999.

The aim is to transform the site by both incorporating the existing buildings and its past usage with a modern day business environment. In 2004, permission was granted to refurbish a series of wind tunnels and The Hub. The Hub, formally known as the Weapons Testing Building, has been fully restored and converted to now form the main heart of the Park, whilst The Square, an iconic focal point, was designed to incorporate an impressive fully restored aircraft hangar measuring 70 ft high. English Heritage has now granted five of the buildings listed heritage status, two of which are Grade 1 listed.
