Legal & General<\/a> (L&G) has formed a partnership with Oxford University to develop homes for University staff and students, along with science and innovation districts in and around Oxford<\/h2>\n

As funding and development partner for Oxford University, Legal & General\u2019s Future Cities business will provide up to \u00a34bn of funding over the next ten years from L&G\u2019s shareholder, annuity and LGIM-managed funds.<\/p>\n

The funding will, subject to planning, deliver a series of projects for Oxford University, including the development of new homes for University staff and students, and the creation of science and innovation districts, with modern workspace and research facilities.<\/p>\n

Accelerating Oxford\u2019s potential by addressing the shortage of affordable residential and commercial space in the city is a fundamental ambition of the partnership.<\/p>\n

Professor Louise Richardson, vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford<\/a>, said: \u201cMy colleagues and I are delighted to have formed this partnership with Legal & General. We look forward to working together to address some of the most pressing challenges facing the University today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will build much-needed graduate accommodation, subsidised housing for University staff, and new science parks, where academic departments, University spin-outs and commercial partners can work together to create new companies as well as high-quality jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nigel Wilson, CEO of Legal & General, commented: “Oxford University is one of the best in the world. It has inspired generations of academics and researchers, and today nurtures outstanding modern businesses with world-leading potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with Oxford University is leading the way in bringing together dynamic cities and patient capital, creating great outcomes for long-term investors and for the cities themselves. Legal & General\u2019s partnership with the University is a terrific example for cities across the globe to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Cummins, managing director of Legal & General\u2019s Future Cities Business, added: “Universities are a key driver<\/a> for the growth of cities, acting as a magnet for talent and incubator of growth and innovation. They have an integral role in shifting the dial for future success.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat universities also need an economic, physical and digital infrastructure to create an ecosystem to attract people and businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n
