Gort Scott have completed a significant and transformative development for St Hilda’s College in Oxford, comprising an Anniversary Building and Pavilion, all set in a reimagined landscape. The Anniversary Building defines the boundary of the College, strengthens the street scene on Cowley Place and creates enclosure to the tranquil gardens within the College, whilst the Pavilion nestles on the edge of the River Cherwell within this verdant riverside setting. The form and layout of these buildings resonate with the meandering river itself and for the first time connect the north and south parts of the College estate. "Gort Scott have successfully reimagined the College spaces as well as the practicalities of offices and student rooms. We are all amazed at the way the project has opened up new perspectives on the College’s riverside gardens and are thrilled with the sight lines from one end of the College to the other accompanied by lush new planting. It really does transform St Hilda’s" - Dr Georgina Paul, Acting Principal, St Hilda’s College
