The transformation of the Mansfield College estate has received unanimous planning approval by Oxford City Council. This is the most significant campus investment in the history of the College, featuring a new South Range that provides 174 study bedrooms, a new Porters’ Lodge gatehouse and entrance garden, teaching and learning facilities, social spaces, workspace and more, to support a broad range of College activities and uses. The project also includes refurbishment and additions to the Grade II* North Range, and a site-wide landscape design that consolidates the estate into an inviting, accessible, and coherent whole.
