Planners have given the green light for a new accommodation block to be built at Wolfson College in Oxford. Berman Guedes Stretton Architects will again design the building, following the success of its accomodation building in 2004.
The new structure will elimintae poor environmental features of the past, including flat roofs, and will cost about £2m to create 18 single rooms with shared kitchen and social spaces, and four one-bedroom flats. Work is due to start in July.
Ben Simpson, projects co-ordinator at Wolfson College, said "The first residential block has been extremely successful and much liked by the students.
"We look forward to completion of this next project and to a continuing and fruitful relationship with the practice."
Berman Guedes Stretton Architects works with more than ten Oxford colleges, including Brasenose and Keble, as well as the Old Parsonage Hotel and Old Bank Hotel in Oxford.
