Excellence for all.

Academics, university staff, students, school children, tourists, visitors, artists, writers and performers – these are the people who will bring the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities to life. These are people we know inside out, people whose language we speak, and people for whom we’ve created award-winning places in which they can thrive.

The city of Oxford, and indeed the University itself, is close to our hearts. We’ve helped make many of its pioneering projects possible: whether that be the complex and collaborative Beecroft Building, the world-class Blavatnik Building, the Estates team’s award-winning carbon reduction project, or the city’s sustainable shopping centre, Westgate Oxford.

We understand how to bring the private and public together, balancing the traditional with the future-focused, and constantly striving for innovation at every turn.

Delivering your vision.

It’s clear this unique project must become a bold built embodiment of the University of Oxford Humanities. Global connection, virtual classrooms, collaborative environments, community, curiosity, creativity, openness and inclusivity. All of these goals require a holistic and humane design: one that understands how all aspects of environmental design come together to create an exceptional building. That’s why, along with our response to the operational engineering elements (MEP, Fire Engineering and Vertical Transportation), we have included an enhanced package of specialist services that will ensure your vision is brought to life.
