Construction has begun on three new advanced laboratory and office buildings at The Oxford Science Park. The Daubeny Project, a 450,000 sq ft (41,806 sq m) commercial life science development, is the latest addition to the park. Each building will offer enhanced lab infrastructure and the capacity for up to 70% wet or dry labs on every floor.
The site, majority owned by Oxford University’s Magdalen College, is already home to 3,350 people and about 100 businesses. The development is expected to be completed in 2026, providing an enhanced space for current occupants and new science companies. Landscaped grounds will aim to connect the new development with the surrounding area, with a focus on sustainability through air source heat pumps, cutting edge ventilation, and renewable energy sources.
The planned development also includes a ground-level parking area and 537 cycle spaces. Park chief executive Rory Maw expressed excitement about the project, stating that it will provide much-needed high-quality lab space for companies driving scientific and technological advancement in the UK. The Oxford Science Park is solidifying its position as one of Europe’s leading destinations for science and innovation, following the recent completion of The Iversen Building and the ongoing construction of The Ellison Institute.
