The Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities is a transformative project for the University of Oxford and the city of Oxford itself. As the university’s largest capital development to date, the centre now houses multiple humanities faculties under one roof for the first time, creating new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. With theatres, cinemas and exhibition spaces accessible to the public, the building reinforces Oxford’s role as a cultural hub.
