Our work in the Heritage sector

St Johns College

Wright & Wright Architects have completed a decade long redevelopment and conservation programme at St John’s College, Oxford. The culmination of this project sees the restoration and remodelling of two of Oxford’s most historic libraries, an environmental upgrade to a unique sequence of Grade I listed spaces, and the conservation of what has been described as the most important Baroque building in the UK.

The primary purpose of the scheme has been to expand library and study space at the College, thereby improving facilities for students, staff and Fellows as well as attracting international research talent for public programmes.

The opening of our award-winning new Library and Study Centre in 2019 radically improved the College with the creation of dedicated new library space for students for the first time in the College’s history. In turn this has enabled the restoration and conservation of the College’s historic libraries, and a successful creative fusion of old and new that seamlessly knits together contemporary architecture and Grade I listed buildings.

Additionally, through a range of environmental control strategies, the project decreases the carbon footprint of the College and serves as an exemplar of sustainability. Measured energy data has shown that the Library and Study Centre is performing exceptionally well in terms of operational energy consumption, meeting the RIBA and LETI targets, with carbon emissions also well below CIBSE industry benchmarks A new lighting system was installed using Lutron complete with wireless daylight dimming and PIR’s controls to be smartly placed as not to be an eye sore to the final finishing.

Taken together, the old and new library and study spaces are fundamental in helping St John’s College to decarbonise, as part of the University of Oxford’s target to achieve net zero carbon by 2035.

 The project had its daily challenges being a Grade 1 listed building but with a great team we overcame any issues that arose.
