Exeter College has submitted plans for the EXOq quantum computer centre, which could create around 7,000 jobs, including 4,600 in the Cherwell district. The facility will be situated adjacent to Oxford Parkway Station and will feature an on-site further education college and a new country park for local residents.
The development spans both sides of the A4260 Frieze Way and is close to a planned stadium site for Oxford United. Concerns have been raised about overdevelopment and the impact on the green belt, but the college asserts that this project represents a vital investment in national AI infrastructure and local economic growth. The outcome of this initiative could shape advancements in the UK’s research capabilities.
