We converted Elmhurst Wing to self-catered accommodation with up to 13 rooms sharing a kitchen. This was achieved by a structural intervention to link three or four rooms together to form a new kitchen dining area.

Alterations to Elmhurst House included a new Junior Common Room bar with a conservatory extension and five post graduate studio flats. We also converted the existing timber panelled common room to a seminar room, to support the student learning experience.
