City Living

Jesus College Oxford

“With this new development, we are not just embracing the future of learning: we’re shaping it.”

The development accommodates increased student numbers including mixed tenure residential spaces: graduate students and visiting fellows, resulting from its introduction of Computer Science and an expansion of postgraduate places; delivers improved space for students and staff; and provides more access to the work of the College.

The building offers external landscaped spaces arranged across multiple levels for gathering and rest, as well as flexible adaptable social spaces.

In 2022 MICA was appointed to develop a masterplan for Jesus College to complete the historic College as a city block and transform a large corner of the historic site.

New student residential accommodation for students and Fellows’ frames a new courtyard providing a significant population and vibrancy. High above the quad, are a series of roof gardens and an exquisite music room, enjoying unmatched views across the ‘dreaming spires of Oxford’.
