Stelios Ioannou Centre for Classical and Byzantine Studies, Oxford University
About The Project
Our
design for this new centre, on a tight site between Blackfriars
College and the Ashmolean Museum, made sense of the three listed
buildings in which the faculty had been housed. It also gave the
faculty a much needed formal entrance from the street. The cluster of
structures at the back of the site were demolished to provide high
quality modern research and teaching facilities, with the most
significant parts of the listed building retained, to create one
building taking up the whole site. The faculty now benefits from a
light, airy building with flexible teaching spaces and a coherent
plan organised around a central top-lit atrium. The atrium provides a
communal heart to the building, joining old and new.
