Buildings[edit]

It is somewhat misleading that the lower library is said to have the 'bulk of the lending collection'. In fact all books in the lower library and basement can be borrowed (with loans a term in length), and all books in the upper library are accessible to students, though readers must request a reading session which would take place in the library. It may also be worth mentioning the complete refurbishment of the lower and upper libraries and the building of the 'New Library' which began in January 2015, set to be completed at the start of 2017. As well as that there are plans and permission for a new lodge and a refurbishment of the Florey Building.

There's also no mention of the Queen's Lane Quad/Carrodus Quad building adjacent to college which houses about 80 undergrads.

History[edit]

"From the 1756, as with other Oxford colleges, standards dropped." Is this a typo for "1750s"? Harfarhs (talk) 02:46, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
