Corpus Christi College is one of the oldest colleges in Cambridge. Centrally located and occupying an entire block of the historic city our task was to transform a former bank hall into a modern library. A new court was created alongside the library and now provides offices, accommodation, a bar and brand new JCR. Grade 1, 2* and 2 listed buildings were all carefully restored and new ones finely detailed. The use of high quality, long life materials will help ensure the new buildings last as long as their historic predecessors. “Wright & Wright has done a fantastic job in the most constrained of circumstances, producing a building that sensitively extends six centuries of architectural development.” Ellis Woodman, Building Design
