| Description |
|
| The
architects of the Gateway Buildings describe
them as, "... a significant addition
to St Antony’s estate, defining a new
presence for the college on one of the
main routes serving the city centre." Professor
Margaret MacMillan, Warden of St Antony’s
College says that, "... We are
delighted with the design and the
quality of the finished product and are
sure that the Gateway Buildings will
greatly aid us in what is becoming an
increasingly competitive global market
for post-graduate education.” The development involves a new main entrance, Porters’ Lodge, 54 en-suite study bedrooms, offices for college staff and meeting/work space within glazed rooftop pavilions. Bennetts' website explains that, "... The Gateway Buildings are highly sustainable and include a range of features from passive design principles such as sensible glazing ratios, natural ventilation and planted roofs to renewables systems such as ground source heat pumps fed from pipework under the lawned quadrangle and solar arrays for hot water production – the main energy demand in student residences."     |
