LONDON, December 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Global property and business space provider Goodman has let
4,885 sq ft to the Assisted Reproduction and Gynaecology Centre
(ARGC) at Oxford Business Park. ARGC will occupy
Building 4420 Nash Court on a 10 year lease.
ARGC is one of the World's Leading IVF clinics and has delivered
the UK's highest success rates in In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) every year since 1995 (as
published by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority
(HFEA).
In response to feedback from their patients and to make the
'IVF journey' easier and less inconvenient, ARGC are opening up a
centre at Oxford Business Park. This service will, undertake the
monitoring phase of treatment (ultrasound and bloods), thereby
reducing the need for patients to attend ARGC's central
London clinic.
Their aim is to -
- Bring services closer to the patient
- Provide a more accessible service to the residents of
Oxfordshire and surrounding
areas
- Reduce the overall cost of treatment
- Reduce the time commitment of treatment
- Reduce the stress of ravelling into Central London

community, and to over 65 companies, including household names such
as Oxfam, Royal Mail and Centrica, whose new 81,000 sq ft
headquarters is currently under construction at the park. The park
has extensive onsite amenities, mature landscaping and extremely
contemporary office space. Oxford
city centre transport links are widely available, as well as
connections to the wider South East and Midlands regions.
James Raven, Development Director
at Goodman said: "The leasing of this space to ARGC demonstrates
Goodman's ability to develop and manage high quality business
accommodation for a diverse range of customers. As one of the
largest providers of assisted reproduction treatments in the UK, we
look forward to welcoming ARGC into the established network of
companies based at Oxford Business Park."
