Creating Spaces for Science and Collaboration

Inventa is a newly completed purpose-built laboratory and office building located in central Oxford and is the first commercial sciences scheme to be delivered in Oxford’s West End. Designed by Owers Warwick Architects and delivered by Willmott Dixon Interiors, the building encourages and enhances collaboration via its extensive amenity offering.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Manufacturing Precision Meets Architectural Ambition

The refurbishment involved the redevelopment of two former retail warehouse units, providing additional internal floor space and enhanced amenities including breakout areas, cycle centre and café. The new reception area features a long SAS600 raft running from the front entrance to the rear, with acoustic backing and DML55 mesh finished in RAL 9005 jet black. In the centre of the space and throughout the main corridor, flame red SAS600 rafts. The lab spaces are complete with a non-perforated SAS150 concealed grid system and finished in RAL9010. Ideal for clinical environments or areas requiring frequent maintenance, our SAS150 clip-in system offers convenient hinge-down access and allows for upward cleaning without dislodging tiles.
