Planning Approved For Expansion Project At University Of Oxford

Planning permission has been approved for a redevelopment project at the University of Oxford.

It is understood new chemistry teaching laboratories will be built at the University's Tinbergen Building.

The existing Sir Leslie Martin building will be expanded to meet the Department's growth plans for beyond 2020.


The scheme, designed by Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp, is being project managed by CPC Project Services (CPC).

Works include developing a new entrance, a student hub and improved teaching laboratories.

CPC's Managing Partner Steve Mole said: "Our relationship with the University of Oxford has developed well over the first two years of our framework appointment, we are delighted to continue to offer our best team to support the University's ambitious plans."

The three-phase project is due to be completed in summer 2017.
