International Advanced Manufacturing Park
The International Advanced Manufacturing Park is a British business park located in the City of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. The site is located next to Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK, the UK's second largest car manufacturing site. It is a development hub for manufacturing in the region and is a joint venture between Sunderland City Council and South Tyneside Council. The concept for this development was influenced by the previous success of the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham.
The International Advanced Manufacturing Park development is designated as an Enterprise Zone and is split into two phases; phase one is 125 acres (51 ha) acres of land with 1.68 million square feet (156×10^3 m2) of building area attracting more than £150 million of investment; phase two is an additional 245 acres (99 ha) of land. Henry Boot plc is a development partner for the project. The scheme intends to create 7000 jobs and work started in 2018.
The park is the site of the closed NHS Nightingale Hospital NE, a field hospital built to cater for COVID-19 patients in the North East, but never used.
