Oxford Brookes University
The project was designed by GSS Architecture, which has been costed at around £17m, will provide an additional 358 places for both post graduates and undergraduates. This is the third phase of the Clive Booth halls of residence at Marston Road, the first of which provided 650 places, and was completed five years ago.
The attractive new buildings will comprise a series of linked three and four storey pavilions arranged around a central quadrangle.
All the buildings have been designed to reflect and enhance the materials used by nearby residential buildings. Most of the gently sloping roofs are green sedum, to assist in maintaining the green backdrop, while others have solar panels to provide domestic hot water. The rooms will be naturally ventilated and the buildings also feature sustainable cedar cladding.
