Former Teaching And Out-Patients Block

The former Teaching and Out-Patients Block was built between 1911 and 1913 as an addition to the Radcliffe Infirmary. It was designed by Edward Warren of London in collaboration with W.J. Mackintosh of the Western Infirmary in Glasgow. The building is constructed from ashlar stone facing Woodstock Road and the courtyard, yellow brick on the carriageway side, and has a slate roof.

The block has a U-shaped layout, enclosing a courtyard shared with the main Infirmary, with three-storey ranges wrapping around a single-storey, flat-roofed core. This core originally housed the out-patient's waiting hall, which is lit by a long, curved skylight.

The east elevation, facing Woodstock Road, features a symmetrical arrangement of windows: two wide, two narrow, then one wide, then two narrow, then two wide six-over-six sash windows with stone frames on each of the three storeys. The ground floor is divided by a plain, banded course, and a centrally placed staff room has a projecting, segmental pediment over the door. A stone plaque to the left of the door reads "Radcliffe Infirmary and County Hospital" above the words "For the support of the Hospital" and a coin slot. A shallow parapet is topped with short balustrade runs and four prominent chimneys. The north elevation, overlooking the courtyard, continues the banded course and three storeys on two ranges. Each range has a large pediment above it, with a tall, round-headed window at second-floor level breaking into the pediment. There are three windows at first floor level, with the central window topped by a pediment mirroring that of the Woodstock Road elevation. The central section is set back, featuring a near-continuous range of tall, metal-framed windows that angle back to the second floor, forming skylights. The upper levels of the three-storey ranges, overlooking the flat roof, are defined by a prominent cornice and stone frames around the six-over-six sash windows, as well as a stone oriel. The flat roof area has a raised lantern to illuminate the interior. The south elevation, facing the carriageway, is constructed of yellow brick and has a large stone door case topped with a pediment, flanked by tall, round-headed windows with keystones, and an arched doorway with a keystone engraved with a cross.

The overall plan remains, although the interior has been modernised. The central out-patient's waiting hall retains the arched skylights and colonnade.

The Radcliffe Infirmary buildings form a cohesive group.
