en.Wedoany.com Reported - A renovation plan will transform the landmark buildings at 1-12 Magdalen Street into approximately 100,000 square feet of laboratory incubator and accelerator space to serve the rapidly growing technology enterprises.

The project, designed by Perkins&Will, is valued at over £35 million and is being developed in collaboration with The Crown Estate, Pioneer Group, and Oxford Science Enterprises.

The renovation will preserve and repurpose this late 19th-century historic building, with the upper floors converted into flexible laboratory and workspace. The plan also includes meeting facilities and a demonstration lab aimed at helping the public understand scientific research.

The project focuses on reuse, minimizing embodied carbon and reducing environmental impact by retaining the existing structural framework and building envelope.

This plan is part of The Crown Estate's broader initiative to invest £1.5 billion in science, innovation, and technology over the next 15 years.

Morgan Sindall will carry out detailed design, with construction targeted to begin in the first half of 2027, and the entire development expected to open in 2029.

Bidwells serves as the project manager.
