We’re developing campuses for the future. Where possible we keep disruptive work to times that limit the impact on local residents, staff and students. With the size of some of the works we are doing this is not always possible. Keep up-to-date with current works and route changes on all our campuses.
Works updates
A currently unused area on the ground floor of the Lloyd building (LL.G.01) on the Headington Campus is to be converted into a temporary Santander banking space.
This temporary change of use for part of the building will be in place until the end of 2025 while the bank’s Oxford city centre branch is refurbished. A date at which Santander will begin using this space from later this semester will be added to this webpage once confirmed.
Santander will not dispense cash or have a cash machine in this temporary space, but the bank will have staff available to provide customers with advice and support with financial services. We expect that they will operate during the following hours:
- 9.30am to 3.00pm on Monday to Fridays
- 9.30am to 12.30pm on Saturdays.
Areas of the University impacted by this temporary use of the Lloyd building will continue to be updated by Estates and Campus Services (ECS).
Work to allow this change of use is expected to take place from the week commencing 14 April 2025. Disruption will be minimal but if you have any questions please email the ECS Projects Team via ecs-projects@brookes.ac.uk
Oxford Brookes received planning permission in June 2022 for two new buildings on the Headington Hill site. The new Teaching and Workshop buildings are cutting-edge, sustainable spaces allowing our students, staff and researchers to flourish, boosting local collaboration and meeting the needs of business.
The Teaching building opened in late January 2025 ahead of the start of Semester 2 of the 2024/25 academic year.
The new Workshop building on the site was formally handed over to the University in February 2025 and will begin to be used as part of a phased opening during Semester 2 of the 2024/25 academic year.
Further information on the development can be found on the project's dedicated webpage.


Oxford Brookes received planning permission in November 2021 for the redevelopment of Clive Booth Student Village. The project is providing an increased number of high-quality rooms within the University’s estate. This is helping to reduce the number of students living in private rented accommodation and support efforts to manage local housing demand.
The Elm Building was the first new building opened as part of the redevelopment of Clive Booth Student Village and welcomed its first residents in January 2024. The new Fir and Damson buildings became home to Oxford Brookes students from the start of the 2024/25 academic year. A Nisa retail outlet, located in the Fir building, is due to be opened during the 2024/25 academic year.
Information on further progress with Cherry building, and additional redevelopment of Clive Booth Student Village as whole, will be added to these webpages in due course.
