FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+-
+-
How is a tech campus building different from a standard office for insurance?
Tech campuses often have higher-spec fit-outs, more shared amenities, dense tech infrastructure and
fast-growing tenants, which all influence how insurers view risk and structure cover.
+-
Can we insure multiple buildings on the same campus under one policy?
Yes – multi-location and campus-style schedules can be insured under a single programme, subject to
underwriting and limits.
+-
Do we need separate cyber insurance for building systems?
It’s increasingly recommended where access control, CCTV, HVAC and other systems are network-connected.
Cyber cover can complement property insurance in these environments.
+-
Can we include events and meetups held in the building?
Yes – subject to scale and nature of events, covers can be extended to include liability for events,
networking sessions and launch activities hosted within the building.
+-
Are lab-style or maker spaces insurable under this type of cover?
In many cases yes, but more detail is required on equipment, processes and safety controls. We discuss
these with underwriters to understand appetite and terms.
+-
Can we combine this with serviced office or managed workspace insurance?
Yes – many tech campuses operate flexible, serviced or managed spaces. Cover can be structured to
reflect your actual operating model across tenants and licences.
