The University of Oxford is celebrating the handover of two significant new research and innovation buildings at Begbroke Science Park, almost doubling the available space and marking a crucial step in the university’s ambitious development plans for the area.

This £59 million project is an exciting milestone in the £4 billion partnership between the University of Oxford and Legal & General (L&G). Managed by Oxford University Development (OUD), these buildings are the first major facilities delivered under this joint venture.

“This expansion represents a significant step forward for our research capabilities and innovation potential,” said Elaine Walder, Director of Operations, Begbroke Science Park. “The new facilities will enable our scientists and researchers to pursue ground-breaking work, fostering an environment where transformative technologies can be developed and brought to market.”
