The New Court, Girton College is the overall winner in this year’s AR Future Projects awards!

The New Court is the most significant addition to Girton, the UK’s first full-time institution for the higher education of women, since its foundation in 1869. The project will allow Girton to accommodate a larger number of undergraduate and postgraduate students in the heart of the College, while improving conference and performance facilities, including an iconic auditorium. 

With an emphasis on sustainability, the new buildings will utilise innovative structural solutions to reduce carbon and meet Passivhaus Plus targets, all set within a bio-diverse landscape that extends an existing Orchard and includes waterways and wetlands.

Launched in 2002, The Architectural Review’s Future Projects awards are a window into tomorrow’s cities. Celebrating excellence in projects still on the drawing board or currently under construction, and the potential for positive contribution to communities, neighbourhoods and urban landscapes around the world.
