Linden and Aspen Buildings
The Linden and Aspen Buildings form the two “wings” of the Wood Centre for Innovation in Headington, offering office space, R&D labs, co-working and a virtual office facility. The Linden Building is currently home to seven science and tech start-ups and the Aspen Building will offer additional laboratory and grow-on space from summer 2026.
Aspen Building
The Aspen Building is planned to come on stream in Summer 2026. It will provide two floors of flexible, customisable space, totalling 16,684 sq ft (1550 sq m) of leased laboratory and office accommodation for start ups and grow on companies in the deep tech and life science sectors.
Clients based in the Aspen Building will benefit from access to all facilities in the Linden Building, including the café, events programme, meeting rooms and conference facilities.
The interior can be configured to suit individual client requirements, with scope for tailored layouts and bespoke laboratory and office fit outs. The east side of the building is designated for bioscience use, while the west side is designed to accommodate chemistry requirements with direct vent capability.
