This is a model of the new building designed to complete Gisborne Court, an 1825 Gothic design by William McIntosh Brookes. The new building is also in a strategic position and a ramp is included under the building to provide a new service access into the College. Together with Fen Court and other areas within the College, the project involves 47 student rooms, 3 Fellow's sets, a new Combination Room, new disabled facilities and lifts, a new function room, a new College bar, music practice rooms and a new rear entrance that links into the College Library and Theatre. The design of the building picks up references from an old gothic screen, part of the original design that enclosed the open side of Gisborne Court and was demolished in the 1930s.
