The Iversen Building is a phased 15,600 sqm project designed to deliver both office and laboratory spaces across two buildings separated by a central raised plaza. The development includes ground and level 1 parking with over 500 spaces, providing a functional and sustainable workspace. With a strong emphasis on eco-friendly construction, the project aims to achieve a BREEAM 2018 'Excellent' rating. The site, bordered by the Cowley Branch freight line and Littlemore Brook, has been strategically designed to accommodate a future train station, fostering a "sense of arrival."

The project involves collaboration with Network Rail, Chiltern Railways, and Thames Water. A key aspect of the development was the relocation of an active Thames Water pumping station, a complex process that we successfully managed through detailed negotiations and design coordination.

Despite various challenges including site constraints, designing flexible office and lab spaces, and maximising land use, the project achieved timely planning permission in December 2019. The design also balanced early value engineering with maintaining high quality. The project, currently on hold pending tender issue, demonstrates the potential for flexible phased development while accommodating future transportation needs and ensuring sustainable goals are met.
