The extension and refurbishment of the Wolfson Building in Oxford has started on site. The Grade II Listed building, originally designed by Arup Associates in the 1960s, forms part of Somerville College.
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.’
