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 received an American Institute Excellence in Design Award for the Somerville College Student Accommodation for Oxford University. The Institute stated that this year’s awards attracted the most submissions in its 18 year history.
Somerville’s Treasurer commented, ‘We love the buildings, and our students really enjoy living there. This award is a wonderful recognition of the results of all the inspiration, hard work and attention to detail that went into the project.’
