Visit to the new building of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies

The Centre's new building, which is nearing completion next to Magdalen College, is within easy reach of the principal libraries, academic departments and colleges. This beautiful building blends the architectural features of the traditional Oxford colleges with the forms and styles of the classical period of Islam. The result is a unique symbol of the harmony between two ancient traditions of scholarship, brought together for the pursuit of knowledge. It will provide a focal point for international collaboration, and will accommodate those academic, social, and residential facilities essential for the collegiate life of a community of scholars.
