Practical completion achieved for Bellhouse Building
First tenants to move in to TOSP’s newest building by end of summer
Oxford, UK, July 6 2020 - The Oxford Science Park (TOSP), one of the UK's leading parks for science and technology companies, is pleased to announce that its newest facility, the 30,000 sq ft Bellhouse Building, has reached practical completion. The first occupiers are expected to move in by the end of the summer, and there is high demand for the rest of the space. The Bellhouse Building, which was delivered on time, forms part of TOSP’s Magdalen Centre, which at 100,000 sq ft is one of the largest innovation centres in the UK.
In order to inspire science and technology occupiers, and in recognition of his achievements, the building was named after academic entrepreneur Professor Brian Bellhouse. Professor Bellhouse came to the University of Oxford in 1957 to read Mathematics at Magdalen College, which owns TOSP, and then gained a DPhil in the Department of Engineering Science. He became a Professor of Engineering Science in 1998. Professor Bellhouse was also one of the University’s earliest entrepreneurs, forming PowderJect in 1993 and basing the company at The Oxford Science Park.
Piers Scrimshaw-Wright, CEO of The Oxford Science Park, said, ‘The Bellhouse Building is a timely addition to the space available here as we continue to see strong demand for attractive and adaptable facilities for innovative companies. We look forward to welcoming new occupiers over the next few months. Thanks are due to everyone involved in completing the Bellhouse Building on time despite the constraints imposed by the coronavirus pandemic.’
The Bellhouse Building was designed by Bogle Architects.

About The Oxford Science Park
The Oxford Science Park is owned and managed by Magdalen College, Oxford. Created in 1991, the Park upholds the College’s heritage and provides one of the most influential science & technology environments in the UK. There is approaching 750,000 square feet of workspace accommodation across the Park, which is now home to 2,700 people and more than 130 businesses. These range from start-ups based in the Magdalen Centre innovation hub to major international companies and include Blue Earth Diagnostics, MiroBio, OrganOx, OxSonics Therapeutics, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, OXGENE, ProImmune, Oxford Sciences Innovation, Evox Therapeutics, Vaccitech, Exscientia, Sensyne Health and Intuitive Surgical.
In addition to being a key property investment, the Park is at the heart of Magdalen College's strategy to support discovery, innovation and entrepreneurship. It will continue to develop The Oxford Science Park as a long-term strategic asset, with ambitious plans to create an additional 500,000+ sq ft of office and laboratory space on the remaining 12 acres of land over the next 3-5 years. This additional capacity will support the growth of businesses already based on the Park, providing flexible workspace accommodation, and enabling new companies to enjoy the Park’s exceptional environment and collegiate and collaborative ethos. The Oxford Science Park is located approximately four miles south-east of Oxford city centre, just off the City’s southern ring road. It has easy access to the M40 and A34, as well as to Heathrow Airport and mainline train services. For further information, please visit: www.oxfordsp.com or follow us on twitter @OxfordSciencePK
