The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre for Worcester College in Oxford and West Court Jesus College in Cambridge have been awarded 2018 RIBA National Awards. The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre has already won RIBA South Building of the Year and project architect Tom McGlynn was awarded the RIBA East Project Architect of the Year for Jesus College.
Building has started on our project for St. Cross College in Oxford. It will accommodate a library, seminar rooms and 53 post-graduate rooms just behind St. Giles. Soon after excavation started, we uncovered the shrouded remains of a woman buried in 1642 during the English Civil War. Oxford Archaeologists dated her from the coins that had been placed on her eyes. After a pause to remove the remains, the builders have started foundations around the historic walls. Completion is expected by May 2016.
A Ground Breaking Ceremony was held on the site on 27th February. Practical Completion of the building is anticipated in May 2016. You can follow progress on site by accessing the contractor’s webcam here (un:stcrosscollege; pw:oxford)
