Kellogg College Hub aims for Passivhaus
A new café and common room that will act as a centralised hub for staff, students and visitors at Kellogg College, University of Oxford, has been granted planning and listed building consent.
The 334m2 scheme, located within the North Oxford Victorian Suburb Conservation Area, is designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studio.
The proposed Banbury Road brick building is aiming for Passivhaus certification. The initial designs include floor to ceiling south-facing glazing with summer shading provided by the terrace structure overlooking a central garden. Our recent Passivhaus Masterclass: Summer comfort & avoiding overheating, may have been of interest.
If the project receives accreditation after expected completion in 2017, it will be the first Passivhaus project for the University of Oxford.

The University has a long-standing commitment to the highest levels of sustainability. The Passivhaus methodology is at the cutting edge of low energy design and has proven, more than any other, that it can deliver comfortable buildings that perform as designed. As the first non-domestic Passivhaus project in Oxford, the Kellogg College Hub has the potential to lead the way both within the University and for the City.
