Research and Development Facility

We are investing in a new interdisciplinary research and development campus that bridges The Oxford Science Park and Littlemore. 

Set for completion in 2027, the EIT Campus in Littlemore will include more than 300,000 sq ft of research laboratories, educational and gathering spaces. Fuelled by growing ambition and the strength of Oxford’s science ecosystem, EIT is now expanding its footprint to a 2 million sq ft Campus across the western part of The Oxford Science Park. Designed by Foster + Partners led by Lord Norman Foster, this will become a transformative workplace for up to 7,000 people, with autonomous laboratories, purpose-built laboratories including a plant sciences building and dynamic spaces to spark interdisciplinary collaboration.

Never before has such a breadth and scale of activities been co-located within the bounds of a single Institute, providing real opportunities to drive interdisciplinary problem solving. We believe that each humane endeavour and each program will benefit from activities across EIT. Removing silos and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between all groups in the EIT ecosystem –including scientists, engineers, clinicians, scholars, technologists, policymakers, operations, and others – will advance innovation.
