The Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities forms part of the University of Oxford’s long-term redevelopment of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, a ten-acre former hospital site to the north of Oxford’s city centre. Since 2009, the site has been part of an extensive masterplan that consolidates academic activity, introduces shared research and social spaces, and establishes new public routes and amenities.
