In June 2005, the Master and Fellows of St. John’s commissioned Purcell to prepare a feasibility study costing options for refurbishment of the student accommodation as well as the Porter’s Lodge, garages, the Song School, the IT Department and the Lady Superintendent’s department. We made recommendations on upgrading, reordering and extending the internal spaces and updating the building services.
Following our report, we were appointed to deliver the detail design of internal alterations and external repairs, carrying out a program of works over phases to suit College operational and budget requirements. The work was completed in three phases over three years and has been delivered within budget and to all of the College’s deadlines.
