Campus

World-leading research and development facility

Designed by Foster + Partners, led by Lord Norman Foster, our new campus is set for completion in 2027. It will offer 30,000m² of research laboratories, an oncology and preventative care clinic, plus educational and meeting spaces.
People and Places

A campus to match our ambition

We are investing in a new interdisciplinary research and development campus that bridges The Oxford Science Park and Littlemore. The facility’s location will further EIT’s current partnerships in the biotech and technology communities, as well as supporting EIT’s partnership with the University of Oxford and become the new home for Ellison Scholars.

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, operations and others – will advance innovation.

“Our design for Ellison Institute of Technology’s new Oxford campus creates a truly collaborative and nurturing environment, which will encourage research and breakthroughs. A primary objective of the project is to break down barriers between researchers, scientists, clinicians and patients, creating a human-centred and holistic approach to healthcare and technological innovation.”
The Clinic

A centre for innovation and
healthcare excellence

Spanning over 2,000m², the clinic will feature on-site clinical imaging and lead the way in integrating clinical care with research. It will focus on evaluating and advancing new medical technologies through partnerships with academia, industry and healthcare organisations, positioning itself at the forefront of innovation and healthcare excellence.
