The AJ can exclusively reveal the concepts by the finalists in the contest to design a new riverside block for St Hilda's College at Oxford University. The proposals have been drawn up by DRDH, 6a Architects, Gort Scott, Tim Ronalds Architects and Hall McKnight. The five practices were chosen from a list of 19 firms originally invited to bid forthe job-which hasa budget of more than £10 million - by competition organisers Malcolm Reading Consultants. The brief forthe project overlooking the River Cherwell included 'improving and increasing' the amount of accommodation for students and fellows, as well as providing new social and teaching spaces, a new common room, porters' lodge and entrance.
