Morgan Sindall Construction has been selected by the University of Oxford to deliver a GBP 15 million programme of work to build a new home for the University’s first new college in three decades Reuben College. In doing so, the company will expand, renovate and reconfigure the Grade II listed Radcliffe Science Library to create fully accessible, flexible spaces for the College’s Common Room and areas for quiet study, group meetings and social occasions. The works also include the modernisation of the RSL on the top floor and the refurbishment of a two-level basement to serve as a high-quality storage and teaching facility for museum collections. Morgan Sindall Construction was appointed through the University’s capital projects partner framework, having won a place on all three of the frameworks lots when it was launched last summer. Construction and renovation work will take place in the historic Jackson and Worthington Wings of the RSL; the Abbot’s Kitchen, a chemistry laboratory built in the 1850s, modelled on the homonymous room at Glastonbury Abbey; and the west wing of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory.
