Modernising and rationalising the social, dining and catering facilities to meet the needs of students, fellows and conference delegates, provided the opportunity to reinstate the historical narrative of the buildings at Brasenose College.

The existing Hall and the conversion of the former medieval kitchen provide dining facilities for students and conference delegates outside term time. Better circulation routes and links enable the kitchen facilities to serve both ground and first-floor levels. Access for the disabled was also improved by new lifts, resolving the complicated level differences.
