Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine

The Ellison Institute acquired the 3.5 acre “Plot 18” from Magdalen College, part of Oxford University, through a 150-year land lease arrangement. The newly purchased property will connect with the adjacent 5.9-acre Littlemore House site that the Ellison Institute acquired late last year.

Direct Access worked with leading architectural firm Foster + Partner to deliver on the new clinic and education facilities, implementing a forward-thinking approach to accessibility fitting of the Institute’s cutting-edge developments in the field of medicinal research. This involved reviewing architectural plans and collaborating with project managers to ensure the site achieves best practice standards of accessibility which would empower disabled people of all backgrounds to have access to the site and be directly involved in the Institute’s vital research into diseases that affect us all, such as cancer.
