| Oxford University building |
Radcliffe Humanities, the Oxford Molecular Pathology Institute, the West Wing of the Said Business School and the Quincentenary Project at Brasenose College have been shortlisted for a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) South Award, which will be announced on 12 June 2013.
The Radcliffe Humanities building, which has also been shortlisted for a Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) award, opened on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter last November after a £10 million renovation of the former Radcliffe Infirmary.
It now houses the Humanities divisional offices, faculty of philosophy, and theology and philosophy library.
'The Radcliffe Humanities building provides a beautiful workspace for humanities staff, students and scholars,' says Professor Shearer West, head of the Humanities Division.
'In its former incarnation as the Radcliffe Infirmary, the building was a central part of the community in Oxford so it is fitting that it is also now home to The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH), which aims to engage the public in the latest research and discussions in the arts and humanities.'
Arts at Oxford will report back on the results of the RIBA panel's decision in June.
