The Garden Building at Lincoln College is a sensitive addition to a 600-year-old campus within Oxford’s Central Conservation Area.
The project extends and refurbishes the existing 1905–06 Read & MacDonald building, creating a revitalised facility for events, performance, teaching and dining across three levels.
The scheme required careful integration of new and existing architecture within a highly sensitive historic setting, adjacent to the 17th-century College Chapel and the early 20th-century Rector’s Lodging. The engineering design had to consider the archaeological sensitivities of the site and the challenge of constructing a 4m deep alongside two sensitive listed buildings.
The completed building delivers a series of flexible, high-quality spaces that support a wide range of college activities.
The project successfully balances contemporary intervention with historic context, enhancing the existing structure while providing a cohesive and engaging architectural environment.
