Niall McLaughlin and Kim Wilkie will be giving a talk together on the 5th of October at the Royal Academy to talk about their plans for the entrance grounds of the Natural History Museum, and share some of the conceptual and creative conversations they are having as a result. This is part of the Royal Academy’s Dialogue series.

Building has started on our project for St. Cross College in Oxford. It will accommodate a library, seminar rooms and 53 post-graduate rooms just behind St. Giles. Soon after excavation started, we uncovered the shrouded remains of a woman buried in 1642 during the English Civil War. Oxford Archaeologists dated her from the coins that had been placed on her eyes. After a pause to remove the remains, the builders have started foundations around the historic walls. Completion is expected by May 2016.
A Ground Breaking Ceremony was held on the site on 27th February. Practical Completion of the building is anticipated in May 2016. You can follow progress on site by accessing the contractor’s webcam here (un:stcrosscollege; pw:oxford)
