Oxford Science park has been masterplanned as an environment to encourage and promote research and business activities. This concern for quality extends beyond the buildings and facilities they offer into the very environment in which the building are set. The plan calls for the design of the buildings, car parks and roads to be integrated into an attractive landscape providing pleasant surroundings in which to both work and relax.

EPR were invited to compete in a limited competition following the success of their competition winning scheme in GreenPark Reading. The site forms the final stage of phase 1 and adds two 4 storey buildings of 67,000 sq ft and 33,000 sq ft to the Science Park. Both buildings are were completed in 2003.

Oxford Science Park gained an award from ‘Oxford Preservation Trust’ in 2003:

''Magdalen Science Park received the final plaque, a joint award recognising the contribution made to the City by the recently built Danby and Sherard buildings, good looking buildings of the highest quality, and a recognition of their landscape setting creating a positive entrance to the south side of the City – good both visually and environmentally''.
