Willmott Dixon has held a 'topping out' ceremony to mark construction work reaching its highest point on a residential project for St Peter’s College in Oxford.

The development is being built to Passivhaus standard and will provide St Peter’s College with 54 bedrooms for its students across four storeys. Split over two buildings, it will include a podium garden with paved and planted areas, with further enhancements to the existing Canal House garden and links to the main College site.

Professor Judith Buchanan, Willmott Dison’s Head of House, said: "St Peter's College is a beautiful college, but bijou in scale. This exciting new development, right on our doorstep, represents a step-change expansion of the estate. The provision of more high-quality student accommodation on site will benefit students of the College for generations to come. We look forward to seeing students in residence, enjoying all the benefits that community living brings."

The new accommodation will be complete in Autumn 2023.
