Wates’ Construction South team has announced practical completion has been reached at Oxford University’s the new Life and Mind Building.
The striking 26,000 sq m building, one of the largest in the university’s history, will soon become the new home for the Departments of Biology and Experimental Psychology.
It is designed to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration for the university’s world-leading research.
Mark Craig, managing director of Wates Construction South, said: “The Life and Mind Building is a shining example of what can be achieved when vision, expertise and collaboration come together. Reaching practical completion on a project of this scale and significance is a proud moment for everyone involved.
“I’d like to thank our teams, partners and supply chain who’ve helped deliver a truly world-class facility that will shape the future of science, research and education at Oxford and beyond.”
Fit out and final preparations will take place ahead of its official opening in Autumn 2025.
The project team included Legal & General, Oxford University Development, NBBJ, Hoare Lea, Ramboll, Fira and Savills.
