Kellogg College
The conversion of Grade II listed Victorian villas and a 1960s building, has given Kellogg College a physical presence in the heart of Oxford.
The Balfour Building, once home to the Pitt Rivers Museum music collection, has been carefully adapted to provide a large seminar room, a dining hall for 150 people, a kitchen and a bar. Neighbouring Victorian villas have been converted into offices, seminar rooms and a learning resources centre.

Berman Guedes Stretton worked closely with client focus groups to meet the spatial and functional requirements of the College while reusing and retaining as much of the building´s existing finishes as possible. Dramatic spaces have been created within the shell of the existing building, with visual links onto the gardens through new openings punched through the walls. Many of the spaces have been designed with movable partitions so that the building can respond to multiple uses now and in the future.
An automated natural ventilation system was used in all of the principle spaces, together with energy efficient lighting and heating systems.
