In the heart of ancient Oxford, the new library and archive building is surrounded by history. At the very centre of the scheme is the Grade 1 listed 16th century library, which now links into the new facilities, via a bridge between the old and new. This substantial building was constructed on top of a medieval Grade 1 stone wall, close to Christchurch Cathedral and the renowned Dean’s Garden, which contains Alice’s Tree and is one of the few Oxford college buildings in recent years to create a new public façade in central Oxford.
