Oxford University project bankrolled by Hong Kong businessmen

AL_A has completed a pair of new buildings at Oxford University’s Wadham College.

The first building is aimed at visiting school students while the second is an undergraduate building including study areas and kitchens. They replace the 1950s Goddard Building.

The scheme was bankrolled by Hong Kong businessman William Doo along with college honorary fellow Lee Shau Kee – the majority owner of developer Henderson and one of Hong Kong’s richest men with an estimated personal fortune of $32bn. Each will have a building named after him.
