Hertford College is in the centre of Oxford’s historic core and is nestled between some of Oxford’s most iconic Grade I Listed buildings, such as the Bodleian Library and Radcliffe Camera.
The library is at the heart of college life and serves undergraduate and postgraduate students, the Hertford academic community and external researchers.
The redesign will include a basement extension to house improved student facilities, new reader spaces, a new archive store and additional meeting and seminar rooms. The current library will be extended and connected to the existing West Range building with essential level access incorporated across all floors. Improvements to environmental conditions and existing services will also be addressed as part of the works.
MICA gained planning and listed building consent December 2021.
