The Park is a leading science and technology centre whose employees benefit from a working environment that plays to the rhythm of Oxford’s spirit of discovery, innovation and research. The design responds to the site’s prestigious reputation with a scheme that awakens a previously undeveloped plot on the North-East fringe. Two new laboratory and office buildings are arranged around a sequence of public spaces to create a sense of enclosure and arrival. The addition of an adjacent train station is taken into consideration to turn the site into an important node for the community, positively impacting its social potential.
