The two maps illustrate the changes that have taken place in the Science Park between 2008 and the present day. Overall, the park has undergone significant modernization, with the addition of several new facilities, reflecting its rapid development.
In 2008, the north-western part of the park was largely covered with green spaces and many trees. Offices and a Reception area were located close to each other in this section. The car park was very large, occupying a central area. In the eastern part, the Cyber Security section was much smaller compared to its current size. Additionally, there was a small stadium located in the southern part of the park.
In the current map, several important changes are evident. The large green area in the north-eastern corner has been replaced by the new Research and Development building, indicating the construction of new research facilities. Moreover, the Reception building that was previously located near the offices has been demolished. The car park has been significantly reduced in size, while the Cyber Security section has been expanded and moved further to the east. In the southern part, the stadium has been replaced by a new Innovation Centre, and a new station has been built, enhancing the transport links in the park.
Additionally, a University Hub has been added, making the park a center for both research and education. New bus stops have also been introduced, improving the park’s infrastructure and accessibility.
In conclusion, since 2008, the Science Park has expanded significantly, with the introduction of more scientific and technological facilities, transforming it into a modern hub for research and innovation
