UK - Oxford - Bodleian Library - Weston Library interior 01_DSC8553
Congratulations to Wilkinson Eyre Architects (and the University of Oxford) for winning an Oxford Preservation Plaque at this weeks OPT Environmental Awards for their re-imagining of the Weston Library.
It was one of those buildings that was easy to walk past without noticing, now it's transformed the end of Broad Street. Worth popping inside for the excellent cafe and public exhibition space.

From the Wilkinson Eyre Architects Statement : "The existing building is in one of the most historically sensitive parts of the city, and is part of a series of buildings forming one of the most memorable urban ‘set pieces’ in the United Kingdom. The transformation of the New Bodleian into an exciting and dynamic resource for the university and the general public will serve to better integrate the building into this wider complex and encourage greater access and engagement."
