Planning permission gained for two new buildings at Pembroke College

Oxford City Council granted planning permission for two new buildings for Pembroke College on Tuesday evening. The team have worked closely with the College and its neighbours to develop designs, as well as engaging with associated stakeholders including Oxford City Council and Oxford Preservation Trust, and are delighted to be moving forward with the project delivery.

MICA’s designs received unanimous support for the addition to the existing Geoffrey Arthur complex, on the banks of the Thames in the centre of the City. Within the challenging conditions of the site and existing buildings, MICA, QODA and eHRW have worked tirelessly to develop detailed, innovative and sustainable designs embedded within the existing college setting.

The scheme provides 77 graduate bedrooms, 4 studios together with a large common room and extensive landscape and extensive public realm improvements.

The scheme is due to commence on site in summer 2020 with completion in 2022.
