Divinity School, Oxford University.
The Divinity School is a medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, England, part of the University of Oxford.[2] Built between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, although Oxford does offer degrees in divinity taught by its Faculty of Theology, which is housed at the Theology Faculty Centre, 41 St Giles', Oxford.
The ceiling consists of very elaborate lierne vaulting with bosses, designed by William Orchard in the 1480s.
The building is physically attached to the Bodleian Library and is also next to the Sheldonian Theatre where students gain their degrees. At the far end from the Bodleian Library entrance, a door leads to Convocation House (built 1634–7).

New College is the home of Edinburgh University’s School of Divinity. The building dates from 1846 after the national Church of Scotland split (the Disruption of 1843). Dr Thomas Chalmers, the leader of the new Free Church of Scotland, was the first Principal of its ‘new college’ built on the site of Fox Hall.
Architect William Playfair designed the buildings to be an imposing expression of the confidence of the Free Church. It also reflected the wealth of the new church's supporters. William H Playfair, 1845-50; David Bryce, 1858-59; Sydney Mitchell, 1899; JM Dick Peddie, 1885 and 1901-3. portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB27689
The School of Divinity shares the site with the General Assembly Hall, the main meeting venue of the Church of Scotland.

Small figures of bishops and kings inhabit little niches in the pendants of the vaulting in Oxford's Divinity School. Perhaps this vault is a reminder of Christ's words: "In my Father's house there are many mansions", whereby the vault represents heaven (i.e., God's 'habitation') and the little niches are the mansions of heaven...

In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

CUENTA DESPACIO
que el tiempo se nos va, te quiero detener en mis manos. Amanecemos desnudos de cuerpo y de razon y deja ya de preguntar ¿no ves que muero por estar? Dejame creer que puedo ver, el mundo como lo soñamos, dejame creer que puedo ver hacerlo como imaginamos. Cuenta despacio, yo no sirvo para hacer tan simple las cosas y no son tan simples, amanecemos desnudos de cuerpo y de razon y deja ya de preguntar, ¿no ves que muero por estar?
William Orchard (d.1504) was a master mason and citizen of Oxford. He was the chief (possibly the only) architect of Oxford between 1460 and 1500. From 1468 Orchard was in charge of the building of Magdalen College, and is believed to have built the roof of the Divinity School, where five of the vault-bosses have the initials "WO" carved on them.
