Works comprised a major refurbishment to the existing student accommodation house at St Hilda’s College and the construction of a new 3 storey extension to the existing boarding accommodation.

The main entrance gates were fabricated from brushed stainless steel, perforated with a stylised map of East oxford.

A new building was also included in the scope of works to deliver additional and improved student accommodation for the College and included a feature external stair tower to provide safe access and egress to the building.
