Lecture Hall Complex in Oxford
- Anja Wiegel
Oxford University has its origins in a monastery dating from 1096. Today, it is one of the most renowned institutions for research and learning in the world. Its independently governed colleges and permanent private halls offer not only study facilities, but also accommodation and leisure activities. On the campus of Worcester College, too, amenities of this kind are on the increase. At the time of its foundation in 1714, the college lay on the periphery of the city; yet although the urban areas surrounding it have grown, it has managed to retain its ample open spaces. Old willows line the banks of an artificial lake, where there are grassland orchards and generous sports grounds.
