Located at the gateway to the Oxford Business Park, Trinity by Breakthrough is a new addition to Oxford’s research community. It was designed to be one of the most sustainable laboratory environments in the world. The amenity-filled building now sets a new standard for quality and intentional design focusing on purpose-built spaces for science.
The project was a design and build and included the construction and CAT-A fit-out of a 6-storey building which now offers 276,000 square feet of space, The state-of-the-art building was designed to attract larger biotech, pharmaceuticals, genomics companies with a smaller percentage of studio labs to attract local entrepreneurs. The building now accommodates containment level 2 laboratories, research facilities and write-up/office space. It also has curated amenities such as a wellness centre, gym, café and extensive cycle storage. The basement level accommodates 135 car parking spaces with 50% of the EV charging points installed from the outset. The floorplates are designed to accommodate 60% lab and 40% office space around a flexible central core.
