MEET OUR MEMBERS
IVY FARM TECHNOLOGIES
In 2022, when Ivy Farm needed a new location to house their breakthrough food tech and pilot manufacturing plant for cultivated meat, they chose to join the family of world changing science and innovation businesses here at ARC Oxford. After weighing up their options, Ivy Farm decided to move into Building 4050, with ARC refurbishing and repurposing the space to a tailormade brief. Today, their 18,000 square feet of office and CL2 wet lab space provides the perfect platform for all Ivy Farm’s R&D activities.
OMASS THERAPEUTICS
OMass Therapeutics moved into over 16,000 square feet of CL2 wet labs and associated offices in 2023. The lab space in Building 4000 has been refurbished by ARC Oxford to meet OMass’ scientific and technical requirements, whilst the office space has also been redesigned to better enable collaborative working.
ACCESSION THERAPEUTICS
Accession Therapeutics moved to ARC Oxford in 2021, leasing 5,500 square feet of fully fitted lab space. In 2022, Accession took the opportunity to lease an additional speculative lab space measuring 1,807 square feet, delivered by ARC at Building 7400.
