The Radcliffe Observatory is having a conservation makeover...

Behind the printed wrap is a complex network of poles and platforms, giving specialist teams access to every part of this remarkable building.

The Observatory is now undergoing a new phase of work that combines careful conservation of its historic fabric with major environmental upgrades.

Protecting one of Oxford's most iconic landmarks for generations to come. πŸ›οΈ
Over the past week, we have celebrated the extraordinary Green Templeton community through events, volunteering, competitions, challenges and fundraising for student support. It has been wonderful to see alumni, fellows, supporters, friends, staff and students coming together to show our support for students.

From the Garden Party and the Photography Competition, to the Memory Wall and Biscuit Decorating Competition, the week has been filled with moments that reflect the warmth, inclusivity and spirit of our college.

Thank you to everyone who made a gift, attended an event, volunteered their time or followed along throughout the week. Together, we have raised  over Β£65,000 for student support. These gifts will help students pursue opportunities, navigate financial pressures, participate fully in college life and thrive during their time at Oxford.
