The Oxford Science Park, majority-owned by Magdalen College, celebrated a major construction milestone last week, topping out the first building in The Daubeny Project.
It represents significant progress in the ambitious three-building development, which is set to provide over 450,000 sq ft of state-of-the-art laboratory and office space for leading science and technology companies.
The event was marked by a ceremony on the roof of the building attended by members of the project team, contractors, and subcontractors, along with representatives from Magdalen College.
“Topping out the first building in The Daubeny Project is a fantastic achievement and a clear sign of the momentum we’re building,” said Jitesh Patel, Head of Development at The Oxford Science Park. “I’d like to thank everyone involved for their commitment and exceptional work in keeping the project on track.
“Together, we’re creating best-in-class environmentally sustainable buildings that will enable incredible science and technology companies to thrive here.”
The second building in the Daubeny trio is on track to top out later this summer, with the third expected to reach the same milestone early next year, highlighting the pace and efficiency of the project despite a complex construction environment.
