The scheme, designed by Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp, is being project managed by CPC Project Services (CPC).

Works include developing a new entrance, a student hub and improved teaching laboratories.

CPC's Managing Partner Steve Mole said: "Our relationship with the University of Oxford has developed well over the first two years of our framework appointment, we are delighted to continue to offer our best team to support the University's ambitious plans."

The three-phase project is due to be completed in summer 2017.
