en.Wedoany.com Reported - Glencar has recently announced the official completion of the Tech Factory 3 project at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire. This 70,000 sq ft multi-tenant technology development project further expands the company's footprint in the UK's life sciences and advanced technology sectors.
The project was commissioned by the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, providing flexible, mid-tech units for R&D, innovation, and advanced manufacturing. Built as a shell-standard property, future tenants can customise the internal space to their requirements. It is situated in the Tech Edge West area of the campus on Curie Avenue, integrated into the Oxford-Cambridge Innovation Corridor.
Tech Factory 3 is positioned as a multi-purpose facility, accommodating R&D and light industrial activities, offering flexible sub-divisible space within a distinctive architectural form. Construction commenced in February 2025 and, following six weeks of preparation and 50 weeks of main construction, was completed in April 2026.
Construction included large-scale earthworks, ground reinforcement, a steel structure frame (incorporating recycled materials), along with a standing seam roof, curtain walling, and high-quality external façades. The project targets a BREEAM 'Very Good' certification and features a saw-tooth roof designed to accommodate solar panels.
This marks the third project Glencar has completed for Harwell. Roy Jones, Glencar's Regional Managing Director for the South, stated: "We are delighted to deliver Tech Factory 3, which demonstrates our capability to provide high-quality, flexible facilities for the life sciences and advanced technology sectors. We look forward to continuing to deepen our collaboration with Harwell."
Jason Stafford, Development and Construction Director at Harwell, said: "Tech Factory 3 enriches our development portfolio, offering flexible, future-proofed space for science, innovation, and technology tenants. Its sustainable design and consideration for the natural landscape are commendable."
The Harwell Campus is home to numerous research institutions and technology companies. Glencar also recently delivered a 60,000 sq ft laboratory and office building at the Chesterford Research Park in Cambridge. As demand for specialist space grows, Glencar will continue to deliver high-quality, sustainable developments.
