Project Overview

Oxford Brookes University has over 150 years of history and over the years has grown into one of the UK’s top modern universities with a local, national and international reputation for teaching and research excellence.

Brief scope of works

Refurbishment of office and teaching spaces and library, providing dedicated accommodation for the Business Faculty and flexible teaching and social learning spaces. Demolition and reconstruction of the lecture theatre. Re-modelling of the building to provide a secondary campus entrance from Gipsy Lane including landscaping. External re-cladding of building also took place.


Involvement in the project during the initial stages enabled us to offer advice to the design team as the proposal was firmed up and review the plans to ensure compliance with the Building Regulations as well as the end users aspirations.
