Project update: Gradel Quadrangles

Watch the construction progress at Gradel Quadrangles as the new residential building for New College Oxford is taking shape.

 

We take a look around the Gradel Quadrangles development to see the construction progress to date.

Breakfast at New College OxfordNew College recently hosted a second complimentary breakfast for the project team working on the Gradel Quadrangles site.

Once again, the venue was the College’s spectacular dining hall. The oldest working venue of its kind in Oxford and Cambridge, the hall has been serving meals since 1379. Quite the experience!

Out on site, work progresses and is certainly grabbing the attention of passers-by, owing to the complex geometry and the high level of detailing involved. 

We took this opportunity to speak to Gez Wells, Home Bursar of New College, and Richard Bayfield, Project Director, New College, who share how the project has been progressing from their perspective.

“As the building takes shape we're getting a lot of plaudits from those that just walk past the site and are intrigued by this very unusual, very complex building taking shape along the Oxford Skyline." Richard says. "It's a building that I think will turn heads and is turning heads.” Watch the full interview with Richard Bayfield.
