Mace to bring forward £184m Oxford Science Park expansion
Mace is readying to kick off the delivery of the Daubeny project at the Oxford Science Park after securing a £184m contract.
The next expansion phase at the park, which is majority owned by Magdalen College, Oxford, will span three laboratory and office buildings, measuring a total of 400,500 sq ft.
The new buildings are designed with sustainability and occupant wellbeing as primary considerations, featuring biodiverse landscaping, extensive solar energy generation and optimised building orientation for natural light and energy efficiency.

The project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2026.
Rory Maw, chief executive of the Oxford Science Park, said: “These laboratory and office buildings will offer much-needed space for life sciences and biotech companies to scale and allow them to benefit from being located at the heart of Oxford’s innovation ecosystem.”
Robert Lemming, managing director for public sector and life sciences at Mace Construct, said: “As our population grows and ages, more sites like these will be needed to meet the pressing demand for laboratory space, and at the Oxford Science Park we are setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability.”
Most recently, DTRE and Cushman & Wakefield were appointed as joint agents to advise on and manage the leasing of office and lab space on the Oxford Science Park. The instruction comprises more than 600,000 sq ft of existing space as well as future developments totalling more than 650,000 sq ft.
