Synchrotron facility at Harwell campus eyes expansion

Diamond Light Source – the UK’s national synchrotron science facility – has submitted plans to build two new research and development facilities at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus near Didcot, Oxfordshire.

The buildings, to be known as DEB1 and DEB2, have been designed by architect Ridge and will span across 64,325 sq ft. The workspace is expected to complement the existing scientific facilities on the campus, Diamond House and the Diamond Synchrotron.

The plans also include delivery of 108 car parking spaces and 10 cycle parking spaces.

Harwell Science and Innovation Campus houses more than £1bn of science infrastructure.

In 2020, Brookfield Asset Management secured a 50% share in the campus, which was later transferred to its spin-off platform Advanced Research Clusters.
