About the project

The project which formed an upgrade of the Old Court Building at Clare College, a transformational project for the college ensuring that the Grade 1 listed building is equipped to meet the needs of 21st century education. Piecemeal formation of openings and penetrations into the part 16th century facade was challenging including the stringent matching of both bricks and Natural Hydraulic Lime mortar. This was under the direct control of the architects and in consultation with the conservation officers of the city council.
