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.
The practice is delighted to have won the competition for a new development within Jesus College, Cambridge. The practice secured the appointment from among a strong short-list that that included Wright & Wright, Haworth Tompkins and Cullinan Studio.
The project forms the first part of a three-phase development, to create a new outward-facing research centre for the College that includes a communications facility and 150-seater auditorium. The scheme involves the reordering and renovation of the site’s existing buildings and incorporates the western half of the historic Wesley House.
Work is due to start on site early next year.
