An impressive new student hub and learning facility for Wadham College

The client's objective was to provide students with a new building for learning, socialising and living. There were two existing buildings on the site that needed to be demolished to create space for the innovative design. While maintaining the important historical aspect of the surrounding buildings, it was vital we delivered a contemporary space for the college community. 

We developed a comprehensive design brief and assisted selecting the architects, oversaw stakeholder engagement meetings, appointed a design team and managed the tendering and construction processes.  

The scheme comprises two separate buildings, one with a music and seminar room, 24 bedrooms, an 'access centre' - accessible for all, and assisted living bedrooms. The second provides students with a bar and student recreation area, an e-hub and learning space, a café, mixed-use space and academic offices. Most of the buildings offer versatile layouts and flexible room arrangements.
