Pioneering research thrives within quality, collaborative environments. Old Road Campus in Headington provides exactly this for the University of Oxford. Bought because of its proximity to key hospitals and clinical facilities, the site is now internationally recognised and is one of the UK’s leading biomedical research centres. It features the award-winning Big Data Institute. LDA Design’s masterplan sets out an assertive landscape-led framework which allows the Campus to grow in a cohesive way. Beautiful shared spaces build a sense of belonging and encourage interaction across disciplines. The public realm has a clear identity, connecting existing buildings around a car-free landscape.
