Morgan Sindall will deliver state-of-the-art 4,700 sq. m facilities to accommodate 400 staff and 330 researchers over three floors. The building will act as a landing place and home for global health activities across the University and represents an exciting new phase of development for the medical research that takes place on site.

The new building will bring together the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health and some of Oxford Population Health as part of a strategic investment in medical research with the aim of further strengthening the institution’s collective expertise.

Passivhaus is a tried and tested solution that gives a range of proven approaches to deliver net-zero-ready, optimised buildings. The Global Health Building will be constructed, insulated and ventilated to meet the rigorous environmental impact and energy-efficient design requirements to ensure Passivhaus standards are met. Morgan Sindall will deploy a range of intelligent solutions to achieve this, from sourcing sustainable materials to using the latest technologies and techniques.

Through the clustering of Oxford's global health activities, the building will provide a modern, flexible space that will help to foster collaboration, providing a focal point for engagement across disciplinary and divisional boundaries.
