The Schwarzman Centre – our new (noisy) neighbours https://www.schwarzmancentre.ox.ac.uk
We are looking forward to welcoming the Schwarzman Centre for Oxford Humanities in 2025, as the building will be an excellent addition to the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter. Building is now well underway, so here are a few things you might like to know:
- Construction completion date is now expected to be June 2025.
- Site preparation for piling will be happening over the next week.
- Piling rigs arrive on 16/1/2023, with piling commencing by end of that week. The rigs are twice as tall as the Andrew Wiles Building. There will be 3 rigs piling at once, with works through to Easter. They will be using the lowest noise level piling method but it will not be silent or without some vibration. We have been reassured by Estates and the contractors that other departments (and MI5) have found it OK to continue to work next door when they have done such works right next to those buildings in recent years.
- Excavation and build out from basement will take place after that for the rest of the year.
It is likely that there will be some noise this coming term. If you have any concerns, please do email @email
