New windows have been cut into the existing masonry walls of the Outpatient’s Building. These windows create a visual connection between the east and west wing rooms, across a double height space of pre-cast columns and beams.
Niall McLaughlin Architects’ Somerville College Student Accommodation for Oxford University has been awarded a RIBA Award 2012. The project was one of only 50 projects in the UK to win one of the prestigious awards.
RIBA President Angela Brady said of the winning schemes, ‘What really stands out is that even in times of austerity, we can still deliver amazingly clever, high quality buildings…these projects are truly exciting and inspiring.’
