On 7 October 2022, we celebrated the official opening of our new 'Back Quad' buildings.

We were delighted to welcome Lord Patten of Barnes, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, to our new buildings. Lord Patten joined Foundation Fellow Alasdair Locke (History and Economics, 1971) and more donors and friends of Wadham College to open the first dedicated access facility in Oxford, the Locke Access Centre, along with the Dr Lee Shau Kee Building and the William Doo Undergraduate Centre. Our Warden, Robert Hannigan, and Honorary Fellow and Warden from 2012 - 2021, Ken Macdonald, thanked all of those who worked with us to make the new building possible: including the architects, AL_A, who achieved the vision for the buildings with great aplomb, our hardworking project team of Wadham colleagues and hundreds of generous donors, without whom the project would not have been possible.
