Listed Building - Grade II*, Within a Conservation Area
The Rhodes Building on Oxford's High Street underwent a major refurbishment and extension which added a new floor of student accommodation to this Grade II* Listed building. The work included new services, internal alterations, environmental improvements and the provision of a new lift. Landscape works in St Mary's Quad achieved level access to the building, the final link in a programme of landscape works to give full accessibility to all the quads of the college. A curved, raised ramp doubles as a platform for performances during the May ball. On the High Street elevation, the ground floor window cills were lowered and glass doors installed in the central archway to increase the visual openness between the college and the city. New railings have been installed matching closely Basil Campneys' original design from 1911.
