We were instructed to develop a masterplan for Osney Mead industrial estate. The 16.5 hectare site lies to the west of Oxford city centre and comprises a variety of commercial buildings including warehouses and offices some of which are being used by the university. Our new masterplan reorganises the site by creating a central public space adjacent to the river while retaining some of the buildings. The public space becomes the arrival point for pedestrians and cyclist, a hub from which a series of radial streets guide students to the teaching, research and support facilities of the new university campus.
