'It is an old saying, abundantly justified,
that where sciences meet there growth occurs.'
- Quote from Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins
Encourage innovation
through class-leading lab and office space,
designed to support leading scientists and industry,
through an inclusive ecosystem

CAM 1
Galileo Labs was engaged by an ultra-high-net-worth individual (UHNWI) to provide strategic counsel on the optimal approach for donating a substantial sum to the University of Cambridge, with a focus on promoting advancements in life sciences.
In collaboration with the University and the UHNWI, Galileo led a multidisciplinary team through a comprehensive masterplanning exercise for the Downing Site, a critical 8.4 acre area in Central Cambridge integral to the University's research efforts. The initiative resulted in a fresh perspective on the site's potential, exploring redevelopment opportunities that both respect the University's historic character and enhance its facilities.
This project involved close cooperation with key stakeholders at the University of Cambridge, including the Head of Biosciences, the Pro-Vice Chancellor, and a prominent Cambridge College. The concepts developed envisioned a dynamic, collaborative, and sustainable environment that could evolve alongside emerging scientific needs. Below are some of the forward-thinking proposals created for the University. The overarching goal was to design a future-focused space that fosters innovation while preserving the University's rich legacy.
OX 1
Galileo Labs provided advisory services to Oxford Sciences Innovations (now Oxford Sciences Enterprises), a £1bn venture capital fund in partnership with Oxford University. Galileo assembled a professional team to guide OSE on the laboratory and office space requirements for its portfolio companies.
The primary objective was to create vibrant, well-supported spaces within urban Oxford, where companies could benefit from shared amenities and access to advanced laboratory equipment. Site 1 comprised 22,000 sq ft, while Site 2 spanned 42,000 sq ft. Collectively, the two sites were designed to accommodate between 30 and 40 portfolio companies, fostering a collaborative environment for innovation and growth.
LON 1
Galileo Labs was engaged by an office developer to assess the feasibility of incorporating laboratory space within a new office development spanning approximately 120,000 sq ft. This review was conducted in collaboration with the developer's existing architect and professional team.
In light of the challenges facing the office market, the potential for integrating laboratory spaces in prime locations warrants serious consideration. To accommodate laboratory facilities, key design modifications and infrastructure provisions would need to be evaluated to ensure compatibility with lab requirements, allowing the development to meet the growing demand for high-tech and research spaces. Further assessments are ongoing to refine the approach.
LON 2
In the heart of Paddington, Galileo is planning the development of purpose-built lab and office suites, complete with shared amenities. These turnkey spaces will feature fully fitted labs and offices, enabling companies to begin operations from day one.
The site boasts excellent connectivity, with a short walk to Platform 1 at Paddington Station, providing direct links to Oxford, as well as easy access to both Crossrail and Tube lines, and quick connections to King's Cross. This vibrant, innovative space is set to be completed by Q3 2025, with further details to be announced soon.
