Blue Boar Quad is a seminal, modernist hall of residence designed for Christ Church in 1968 by acclaimed British architects Powell & Moya. Since completion, the building has been plagued by leaking roofs, cracking stone cladding to the façades and services failure. We were appointed to undertake a detailed survey and conservation repair of the listed stone façades, refurbish and extend the Quad to provide a new lecture theatre, extra student accommodation, en suite bathrooms, new archive facilities and disabled access.
