The maps above show a science park in 2008 and the same park today.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The maps detail alterations to a science park dating back to 2008. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the park has expanded to include more areas for research, education, and improved accessibility.

Regarding the northen end of the park, in 2008 there was considerable untouched natural land that has now been replaced by a search and development center (the reception area was also removed in favor of a university hub, while, the adjacent offices remain the same). South of these new facilities, the car park has reduced in size, the business units are unchanged, and most significantly, the cyber security building has been enlarged, in order to overtake the previous undeveloped land.

In the southern section of the park, the circular IT center has been transformed into an innovation center and there is a new station on the southenmost tracks with walkways branching off to various facilities. Ultimately, there are additional biking routes along an eastern road running through the center of the park past the car park and new buildings as well as a bus stop on the eastern of the campus.
