Lady Margaret Hall, North And West Sides Of Wolfson Quad Including Library, Rooms And Lodge

Lady Margaret Hall includes the north and west sides of Wolfson Quad, featuring the library, student rooms, and entrance lodge. Built between 1959 and 1961 by architect Raymond Erith, the structure is made of red brick with Portland stone and has pantiled roofs that are pitched to the eaves. It stands three to four storeys tall. The entrance elevation on the west side has few windows and features a central arched entrance set within a flat, simplified Portland stone portico topped with a pediment. Above this, there is a white-painted clock tower. The library is located in the adjoining north range, with student rooms. The upper floors of the library are marked by Diocletian windows at the top storey level, while the lower floors have square-headed windows. The ground floor displays arched windows that are treated as a blocked arcade. Inside, the library is a galleried space with Tuscan columns that separate the bays at the entrance level.
