This state of the art CSF building comprises function and meeting room hire facilities; an innovation support environment for emerging technology companies; tenancy options; as well as a tavern and café.
Being the central meeting place that assists in the formation of strategic relationships, the CSF will bring together the science and technology community with relevant industry players.
