The University of Oxford has today revealed plans for the two most significant buildings on its new Radcliffe Observatory Quarter (ROQ) – one of the biggest development projects it has undertaken for more than a century.

The University’s Mathematical Institute and its Humanities Division will find new homes on the 10-acre ROQ site in central Oxford. Viñoly's new Mathematics building will consolidate a department that had been spread across multiple locations, giving it a new focus and identity - one that will balance researchers’ needs for privacy with the increasing importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. It will be the main workplace for over 500 academics and staff, as well as the centre of academic life for approximately 1000 students, fellows and lecturers.
