Harwell Oxford

As one of the UK's two National Science and Innovation Campuses, the 300 hectare Harwell Campus is already a vibrant community of scientists and technologists developing a wide range of innovative products and services.

Recognising that science and innovation are essential to economic success, this exciting 15 year project is building a sustainable, interactive community, with buildings and amenities designed to encourage collaboration.
