The new China Centre building as rendered by project architects David Morley Architects.
Construction starts today on a building for a centre bringing together Oxford University's research on China. Based at St Hugh's College, the building also incorporates new college facilities. The University of Oxford China Centre is made up of more than 40 academics drawn from a diverse range of disciplines, with common research and teaching interests related to China. Until now, the China Centre academics have been spread out across the University, without a physical home. The new building, based in St Hugh's College, will bring this group together for the first time and provide state-of-the-art new facilities to support their work. It will also increase opportunities for exchange with academics and scholars from Chinese universities and China experts from across the globe. As well as housing the China Centre, the new building will provide St Hugh's College with 63 en-suite student bedrooms and additional teaching and conference space.
