The bell tower for the Bishop Edward King Chapel has been installed. The new chapel building has been designed by Niall McLaughlin Architects for Ripon Theological College in Oxfordshire. The project, which was won through an RIBA competition in July 2009, is due for completion in 2013.
Niall McLaughlin Architects has been shortlisted for the St. Cross College competition for Oxford University. Pringle Richards Sharratt, Walters and Cohen and Wilkinson Eyre are the other shortlisted practices. The brief asks for the new student accommodation to be a ‘natural companion and complement to the existing buildings’ and is described as a ‘rare opportunity to finish a tucked-away and much loved space.’
