Two state-of-the-art research buildings on the University of Oxford’s Old Road Campus are currently under construction, with completion expected in the spring of 2013. The Nuffield Department of Medicine and the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology represent the first phase of a long-term masterplan to improve the campus, and continue our successful partnership with specialist laboratory designers Nightingale Associates, who we collaborated with on the Old Road Campus Research Building which was completed in 2007.

The two separate buildings have their own distinct identities and user groups but were designed to complement each other, as well as respond sensitively to the neighbouring campus buildings and the immediate surroundings. Configured to allow the inclusion of a third building to be constructed during the second phase of works, the new facilities will help to reinforce the campus’s status as an internationally recognised leader in biomedical research and aid cross-departmental collaboration.
