Harwell Campus is a science, technology and innovation campus with close ties to Oxford University. The hides provide tranquil workspaces overlooking an existing lagoon. Each pavilion is clad in angled facets of timber cladding and mirrored glass with each offering a distinct working environment.
The pavilions have been constructed offsite using cross-laminated timber (CLT) to reduce the impact on the ecology of the site.
