The development will include three new laboratory and office buildings

Mace secured £184m science park contract



Mace Group has secured a £184m contract to deliver the next expansion phase at the Oxford Science Park.


Called The Daubeny Project, this will involve the construction of three new laboratory and office buildings - adding 400,500 sq ft to the park.

The Oxford Science Park is majority owned by Magdalen College of Oxford.

Mace is designing the buildings to incorporate photo-voltaic energy generation and biodiverse landscaping.

The scheme’s ground engineering solutions aim to save around 3000 tonnes of embodied carbon, with facades using recycled aluminium to save another 500 tonnes.

The project is scheduled to complete at the end of 2026.

“The Oxford Science Park is home to some of the most forward thinking and innovative companies, and these new cutting-edge facilities will help unlock groundbreaking research that people will rely on for decades to come,” said Robert Lemming, managing director of public sector and life sciences at Mace Construct.

“As our population grows and ages, more sites like these will be needed to meet the pressing demand for high-quality laboratory space, and at The Oxford Science Park we are setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability.”
