The College is delighted to announce that the new Porters’ Lodge has been awarded a Building Conservation Certificate in the 2024 Oxford Preservation Trust awards.

The certificate recognises the creation of a new accessible entrance from the High Street and a new Porters’ Lodge, formed in meticulously converted spaces at the corner of the historic quad. The removal of the former lodge allowed the architectural quality of the quad loggia to be revealed.

You can read full details of this project in the Eagle Eye magazine.
