JESUS COLLEGE COMPLETION
MAY 2017
We are delighted that our West Court development project for Jesus College Cambridge has achieved practical completion. All new and refurbished buildings have been handed over to the College and are in full use. West Court is home to the new Jesus College Intellectual Forum which, in conjunction with the Cambridge Refugee Resettlement Campaign and Cambridge City of Sanctuary, will host a seminar in the new Lecture Hall entitled “Acting locally and thinking globally: how can cities and regions respond to refugees and forced migrants?”. The event takes place on 21st June and free tickets are available from Eventbrite.
RIBA JOURNAL FEATURE ON THE BISHOP EDWARD KING CHAPEL
JULY 2013
Under the tile ‘Happy Ending’, Jan-Carlos Kucharek has reviewed the Chapel for Ripon Theological College in Oxfordshire. The article reflects on the conversations with the client to develop the design, together with the stories and architectural precedents that worked together to inform the building’s final form. Kucharek writes, “…there’s no questioning the positive effect of McLaughlin’s £2.6m chapel on the picturesque Ripon College, both functionally and aesthetically.” He goes on to describe the elliptical form, accessed on the diagonal between the long and short axes, as “a master stroke.”
