Oxford Foundry is situated on Hythe Bridge Street, halfway between the railway station and the bus station as you walk up. It will not be familiar to all but the most recent alumni of the University, but is one of the most exciting ventures of the recent past and part of an intricate IP commercialisation and innovation culture in the broader University.
