Architects; Philip Dowson for Arup Associates, 1963-64.
Use of brick in service towers and paving is responding to the context of brick buildings on and near the site.

On August 17, Chancellor Girod took a break from helping students move into residence halls to chat with students from KJHK radio. "I've been told I have a face for radio," Chancellor Girod quipped after the interview.
Baker House Dormitory (Alvar Aalto; Perry, Shaw & Hepburn, 1946-1949). An excellent and early (for the US) example of the brick-modernist vocabulary turned to something subtler, suppler and more variegated than the great majority of its applications. Fans of the Aalto office will note such signature touches as the copious use of warmly-colored wood on the interior, the selection of bricks of varying depth and texture, the slight enlargement of hallways to form common areas, and a general avoidance of rectilinear bunker form. The last of these, in this case, is accomplished by bending the whole plan into a gentle snake's curve, embracing without completely capturing outdoor space and granting residents a variety of views.
When the spring rains come, Dunedin turns mild and wet. I think it brings out the Scottish character very dramatically, and it's a good time to start photographing city scapes because of the added gloss everywhere. These images were taken in the student areas around the Polytechnic and university. I hope you appreciate that I got really, really drenched snapping these images. Haptchoo.

The location of North Quad is actually northwest of the quad and directly north of the State street commercial district. Had this dorm been built when I was at U of M, I would have preferred this location to that of South Quad where I actually ended up my freshman year.
By Manson Architects, 2015. Long, wedge-shape 5-story student housing complex with extra storeys to S. Blonde sandstone with white render and tall slim window openings. Joins a 2nd building forming a central courtyard. Rooftop terrace.
The building accommodates 423 student residents. 21st century Streamline Moderne I suppose. A finalist in two separate national award categories.
Architect: Arne Jacobsen. 1962. Rear elevation, this time rough grass replaces pool of water and the view is open playing fields.
318 Commons is a nine-story apartment complex with classrooms, retail, offices and public space for University of Minnesota Rochester students being built at 318 First Ave. S.W. across from the Minnesota BioBusiness Center and Dooley's Pub.
It will have 98 apartments, ranging in size from three-bedroom units to efficiencies, as well as space for classrooms, offices, and a student life area.
The university is leasing 70 apartments -- 148 beds -- for $1.4 million a year to house students as its Rochester campus grows. (PostBulletin.com from Kiger's Notebook)
Given that North Quad appears to be constructed in a neo-collegiate gothic style, the quality of the stone and brickwork is higher than I expected it to be.
Architects: Howell Killick Partridge & Amis, 1964. Grade II listed. Original design was to have many blocks, threaded like beads with link corridors weaving their way around mature trees but only two were ever built.
This era saw lots of 'modulated' prefabricated buildings, expressing living units on elevations. This was one of the best of its type and weathering has not been unkind for a concrete structure.
These slides of Stag Hill Court were used in a lecture presented by Professor JR James of the Department of Town and Regional Planning at The University of Sheffield between 1967 and 1978.

Architects; Ove Arup Associates, designed in 1857-58 but built between 1962-66. The Vaughan Building forms one side of the main college Quad, while on the right side Wolfson Building with its pristine cubist bay window terminates the far side of this Quad.
Students at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) will have more access to affordable on-campus housing, including housing for students with families, as part of the government’s 30-point housing plan.
The Province is investing $450 million in new on-campus student housing at public post-secondary institutions throughout BC to create up to 5,000 student homes over the next six years.

...go through the opening, now 'celeberated' by this recent gateway addition. Note the triangular bay and copper cladding around slot windows, acknowledging Lasdun.
MacCormack' Chapel at the end of Lasdun's block. I suppose this is also a way of providing extra accommodation.

Architects; Powell & Moya, 1974.
Beautifully composed, very understated entrance. For some reason the proud managers demand imposing entrance halls and in this case no amount of planting boxes would help. One of my favourite corners of the project.
The following paragraph written for an obituary for Powell in Guardian of 19th May 2003 by Diana Rowntree describes Powell & Moya’s work rather well…
“They approached architecture in a way that was characteristic of the early modern movement, but is seldom remembered today. They thought that originality was appropriate "only when it grows out of the originality of the problem". They mistrusted the monumental approach, "making things big when they need not be". And they did not identify with the attitude that treats any job as a "prestige job", believing that each one - large or small, repetitive or standardised - had an identity of its own and should not, in order to save its designer time and trouble, be allowed to become an arbitrary rehash of one of its predecessors.”
This scheme also sits next to Cherwell like Arne Jacobsen’s St. Catherine's College which is not far from here. St. Catherine is quite rightly considered one of the most notable modern buildings by Jacobsen and is among the best modern buildings in Britain but walking around these two buildings provides hugely different architectural experiences.
Jacobsen’s immaculate modern classicism makes you very aware of each ‘nut and bolt’ and joint between different materials and even flowers and foliage. Your foot steps tend to follow the rhythm of paving joints. One is even aware of a ‘memory’ of a quadrangle with a strategically positioned tree, but let us face it, it could be a great building anywhere in the western world.
This does not apply to the act of walking in and around Wolfson College. You can not be any where other than rarefied British environment of Oxbridge.
Walking here does not allow you to be obsessive about fine detailing but forces you to understand the relationship between colonnades connecting external spaces at differing levels and the lush surrounding subtly modified in traditional British romantic landscaping traditions. The bonus of glimpses reminding you of modern masters like Corb, Aalto and Wright is an extra element of unexpected delight.
.....you arrive in a different courtyard, via another gateway addition, without copper cladding but the window design now nods at MacCormac's elevations. The centre-piece in this courtyard is.....
