East Oxford Community Centre's new roof was completed earlier this month.
It is part of the building's £5.4 million redevelopment which began in March, and will ultimately see a complete refurbishment of the Old School building on the corner of Cowley Road and Princes Street.
The Fusion Arts buildings has been demolished to make room for a three-storey, low-carbon building to take its place.
Oxford City Council said the newly finished roof not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the centre but also incorporates advanced materials for long-term durability and sustainability.
Its galvanised steel outer layer is supported by a structural plywood panel with integrated vapour control and airtight properties, designed to maximise energy efficiency.
The city council said the redevelopment is part of its commitment to supporting thriving communities by investing in high-quality facilities for local use.
The project will also see the delivery of improved event spaces, community meeting rooms, and a cafe.
Councillor Linda Smith, cabinet member for housing, said: "The completion of the new roof is a major step forward in our journey to revitalise the East Oxford Community Centre.
"This redevelopment is about providing a vibrant, welcoming space that serves the diverse needs of our community.
"We’re excited to see the project progressing and look forward to the positive impact it will bring."
The project is set to be completed in 2025.
Mitchell Carter, head of construction at ODS, which is delivering the new centre, said: "ODS are delighted to have achieved this significant milestone in the redevelopment of the East Oxford Community Centre.
"Our team has worked closely with Oxford City Council and the local community to deliver a sustainable, high-quality structure that reflects the importance of this site.
The council has also commissioned OX Place to develop 12 energy-efficient flats for social rent next to the community centre on Princes Street.
The social rent flats will offer occupants one or two bedroom options at about 40 per cent of equivalent private rents.
Further work in Collins Street, where OX Place is developing 14 new homes for shared ownership, started earlier this year.
The sale of these homes will help to finance the redevelopment of the community centre.
