We are delighted to share a set of new images of the College’s Cheng Yu Tung Building as the development nears completion.
These beautiful images, taken by photographers John Cairns, Bev Shadbolt and Jude Eades, showcase how the College has transformed the old Northgate House site in the centre of Oxford into an innovative state-of-the-art building that both significantly enhances our teaching and research facilities, and provides Oxford with new and unique conferencing and events spaces, and retail units.
The building, designed by MICA Architects, combines new postgraduate accommodation, indoor and outdoor communal spaces and exceptional teaching facilities, as well as a Digital Hub that will utilise the latest digital technologies to enrich learning for our students, enhance the world-leading academic research of our Fellows, and enable us to reach more young people through our Access & Outreach programmes. With exciting new vistas of Cornmarket and Market Street, it is also hoped that the development will attract more members of the public and Oxford visitors to explore this historic part of the city.
