Girton College set out their principles, values and ambitions in our earliest meetings with them, for a healthy, inclusive, place that supports student life and work, with respect for the immediate landscape context, and for the planet. We are really happy that the robustness of our design response to the challenging brief, has been endorsed by this award and look forward to seeing it come to life over the coming years.

Won through an extended design competition in 2024, this major planned addition to Girton College, University of Cambridge will be the most significant single building project on the College’s main site since its foundation in 1869, and to Passivhaus standards. Read about the project here.
