Wadham College New Buildings

New center enables college to improve access to elite higher education
옥스포드 대학의 높은 교육 장벽을 낮춘 와드햄 컬리지의 신축 건물

AL_A 

AL_A have completed two new buildings, the William Doo Undergraduate Centre and the Dr Lee Shau Kee Building, at the center of Wadham College, one of the largest colleges of the University of Oxford.
The new buildings will create a state-of-the art Undergraduate Centre on the Wadham site, as well as an Access Centre to accommodate the increasing number of visiting school students attending access and outreach events such as summer schools and aspiration days. The Undergraduate Centre is a recognition of the huge importance of social spaces in today’s universities. The center combines a junior common room, café and bar and beautiful daylit work areas.

영국에서 최고의 명성을 자랑하는 옥스포드 대학에서 유명한 컬리지 중 하나인 와드햄 컬리지를 중심으로 새로운 건물이 들어섰다.
1601년 니콜라스 와드햄과 도로시 와드햄이 설립한 이 컬리지는 고딕 양식의 석조 건축으로 400년 전통을 이어온 역사적인 장소이다. 이 부지에 새롭게 들어선 건물은 학부생과 방문객을 위해 제공되는 공간으로 각종 지원행사를 독려하고 명문대인 옥스포드 대학의 교육을 누구나 받을 수 있다는 희망찬 미래를 담고 있다. 이러한 미래지향적인 신축 건물과 시간의 축적을 보여주는 기존 건물과의 대조되는 모습이 꽤나 인상적이다.

The Access Centre is an ambitious investment in the future, designed to encourage pupils from all backgrounds to aspire to an Oxford education. Wadham College is reaching thousands of secondary school pupils through its outreach work every year, and the two new buildings will enable the College to expand and develop this work. On the ground floor is a suite of light-filled seminar rooms and a music room while the top floors contain student accommodation.

이 건물은 와드햄 컬리지의 자유와 평등이라는 가치를 대변한다. 매년 다양한 지원프로그램을 통해 방문하는 여러 학생을 위해 사교적인 친목 활동을 중점으로 공간 위주로 구성하였고, 별도로 학생만을 위한 학습공간과 숙식공간이 마련된 건물이다. 한 매스 안에 성격이 다른 기능을 두 개의 동으로 분리하여 빨간색 포인트의 계단으로 연결했다. 투명한 창문으로 들어오는 빛이 가득한 1층과 북동측에는 퍼블릭한 성격의 세미나실과 음악실, 카페, 바 등 공용 공간을 배치했고, 상층부와 남서측에는 학생들을 위한 프라이빗한 기숙사를 두어 두 개의 동을 배치하였다. 주변 오래된 석조 건축과의 연계는 파사드로 풀어냈다. 금속 처리한 알루미늄 커튼 월 프레임과 유리에 반사된 주변 석조 건물로 인해 현대적인 건축 재료가 튀지 않고 주변에 자연스레 스며든다.

According to Amanda Levete, Principal at AL_A: “These two buildings are designed to radiate openness. Modest in scale, but high in aspiration, they express the liberal and egalitarian values of the College and create a sense of belonging for students and staff. Reflecting changes in the way students work and socialize, they are open and transparent, and use the life of the College to animate the buildings.”
Warden of Wadham College, Ken Macdonald QC, commented: “The William Doo Undergraduate Centre and Dr Lee Shau Kee Building now stand as graceful and pure marks of our continuing belief in the harmony that exists between learning and beauty, which our quadrangles, lawns and gardens express so well, and which AL_A have captured with such skill and sensitivity.”
Founded in 1610 by Nicholas and Dorothy Wadham, the College now comprises up to 250 graduate students and some 450 undergraduates. Wadham’s architectural heritage spans a variety of building styles from the classical Oxford Gothic of the original buildings to the new development by AL_A inaugurated in 2021.
