Preserving History While Preparing for the Future

We carefully lifted and reinstated the historic paving within the quad at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, enabling the installation of essential ducting for modern services without compromising the site's heritage.

By working in partnership with the College and archaeologists, we completed the project safely, on schedule, and within budget.

The original stone slabs were expertly relaid, leaving no visible trace of the work beneath.
