The team we choose will display an exceptional understanding of the manipulation of space, function, light and material, and be capable of creating a very special piece of architecture that can stand alongside our rich and diverse built heritage. We do not expect a set-piece addition; instead this will be a sophisticated piece of architectural surgery, repair and construction. But it must be beautiful and enable us to reconnect and remake social and academic connections, as well as providing the College with essential practical facilities and long-term flexibility. These spaces are very much at the heart of the College community – where we meet, eat and socialise.
