St Antony’s College, Woodstock Road, 11.00am-3.00pm.

Visitors will be welcome to view three libraries at St Antony’s College, set in the very different and inspiring surroundings of a 19th-century former convent building and the brand new Investcorp Building, designed by Zaha Hadid.

College Library

Sensitively refurbished 18 years ago, the Library occupies the former chapel in the 19th-century convent building that formed the first home for St Antony’s College when it was founded. It provides a unique and beautiful place for students and Fellows of the College to study. Further details may be found here: http://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/current-members/college-library
