Some Final Shots of the Building

The building refurbishment has been finished for a few weeks now, although the last few bits of furnishing are still arriving for the courtyard. I thought I'd provide a few last photos to show just how good the building looks. But first my thanks to Lipman for a job well done. The picture below was taken on the day when the team had completed the common rooms and bedrooms. This was an important day for them and us, as it meant that residents were able to move in on time. Of course, they still had the courtyard and roof to complete. As you can see in the background, there was still a lot to do at that stage. But it's all done now!

A key requirement, we can still see the sky!
Thank you to the residents and staff of New College who have endured much during the refurbishment of the building. The good news is that we now have a wonderful building that is helping to add to the already rich community life. As one resident said to me over lunch recently, "The building is now so wonderful, the noise for the first few weeks of semester was worth the pain."
