Description
The New Quad Buildings at Rugby School were constructed between 1867 and 1885 by William Butterfield in a polychromatic Gothic style. The buildings are made of red, black, and yellow brick with stone dressings and are mainly three storeys tall, with some parts being two storeys. They feature buttresses with offsets and casement windows grouped together, each with arched heads of varying forms. An octagonal staircase tower located at the north-west corner has a tall pointed roof, and there are prominent chimneys with rows of joined shafts. The roofs are covered with Welsh slates and sit behind parapets. The New Quad Buildings, along with the old Quad Buildings, School House, and Doctor's Wall, form a group with the Chapel and War Memorial Chapel at Rugby School on Dunchurch Road.
