Project coincides with 120th anniversary of the Rhodes Trust

Stanton Williams has completed a £38 million project to revitalise the historic premises of the Rhodes Trust in central Oxford.

The project focused on Rhodes House, a Grade II* listed Arts and Crafts building, designed by Sir Herbert Baker and completed in 1929. It serves as the headquarters for the Rhodes Trust, overseeing the Rhodes Scholarships at the University of Oxford and various global fellowship programmes.

The transformation sought to modernise the building’s services and create additional spaces for Rhodes Scholars, staff, and the public. This included the addition of new offices, conference rooms, and residential accommodation, all within newly landscaped gardens. The lower floors of Rhodes House were repurposed to accommodate new conference facilities.
