The largest single building project ever undertaken by Oxford, bringing the humanities faculties together for the first time around a glass-domed Great Hall, with exhibition space, a cinema, recording studios, a museum and a 500-seat concert hall. It is on track for Passivhaus certification, making it the largest Passivhaus scheme in England and, per the architect, the world's first Passivhaus concert hall.
