Brasenose College Staircase 16, 17 And 18

Brasenose College Staircase 16, 17, and 18 is a block of student rooms completed in 1961, designed by Powell and Moya. The building features Portland stone ashlar, concrete, lead cladding, and lead-covered roofs on the taller block, while the lower block has pebble-covered roofs. The taller section consists of 4 to 5 storeys and includes 4 bays that alternate between recessed and projecting. The projecting bays have stone-clad walls and lead cladding on the south side. Large windows are present throughout, and the projecting bays have monopitched roofs. Attached to this is a low block of one storey, which includes rooms that are set forward and backward, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows facing west, interspersed with sections of unbroken stone wall.
