The new 300 seat Debating Chamber, the Jafar Hall was opened by HRH The Prince of Wales in June 2015. The Hall's design was based on the Council Chamber at Priene. It forms the centrepiece of the new McCrum Yard which is layed out as a new academic quadrangle.

To the east and north, an L-shaped red brick building with stone dressings houses the Department of Modern Languages. Replacing a line of twentieth century buildings, the west side is formed by a new yellow stock brick building for the Department of Economics and Politics and the Department of Divinity, which sit either side of double height arch giving views into the new quadrangle from the street.

The exhibition space and its furniture in the Jafar Gallery have been designed to display the College's important collection of Classical and Egyptian antiquities, Eton College, Windsor, Berkshire, United Kingdom
