Construction on Milton Park's £40m Nebula scheme nearing completion
A timelapse video showing the progress of construction at Milton Park's new £40m research and development (R&D) scheme has been released.
Nebula at the Oxfordshire Park is being delivered by Gloucester firm Barnwood with construction due to be finalised in the first quarter of 2025.
The development will offer around 80,000 sq ft of R&D workspace for startups and companies across science, technology or advanced engineering industries.
Tom Booker, commercial manager at MEPC Milton Park, said: "With Nebula nearing completion, there has been strong demand and we will shortly be announcing the first letting to a well-known international brand.
"We’re also in discussions with existing Milton Park occupiers looking to expand operations.
"Not only are they attracted to Nebula’s flexible space, sustainable features and high-quality materials, but also the wider benefits of being based at the Park."
Occupiers of the scheme are also set to benefit from MEPC Milton Park’s £7m investment into its own electrical infrastructure, which provides enhanced power supply for R&D uses and future developments.
The project features sustainably sourced glue-laminated timber (glulam) beams in lieu of steel and Nebula is targeting a BREEAM Excellent rating.
The 8m internal height and 5m openings for large-scale laboratory or plant equipment provide space for a diverse range of companies, including those in the UK’s space industry.
