What's on

Join us at the Old Road Campus Research Building to learn about the biomedical research done at Oxford University where we will have activities, games and tours to display our science!

A number of institutes and departments based within the Old Road Campus are looking forward to opening the building to visitors interested in the research we do here. From cancer to vaccines to surgical sciences research, the Old Road Campus Research Building (ORCRB) hosts an array of internationally renowned scientists who are looking forward to showing some of their work to the public. There will be an array of activities, demonstrations and tours designed to interest all age groups from children to adults. Free parking.

Different departments will host drop in stalls around the atrium of the ORCRB where members of the public can explore the activities and talk to our researchers. Guided tours of some of our facilities and labs will be available for sign up (first come first serve) and start and end in the atrium.

  • Disabled access: The atrium is fully accessible with automatic doors and no steps necessary. There is a disabled access toilet off the atrium too. The tours can be accessible by lift, but some instrument rooms are small, providing limited access
  • Refreshments available
  • Children's activities available
  • Toilets available
