Purcell’s expansion of Radley College’s Grade II*-listed chapel includes a new sanctuary with an octagonal plan form and roof lantern formed of self-supporting curved structural glass

A case study of our expansion of Radley College’s Grade II*-listed chapel has been featured in the Architects' Journal.

Designed in 1893 by one of the most prevalent English architects of Victorian England, Thomas Graham Jackson, Radley College Chapel is a focal point of college life and an important part of the Radley College's culture.

Our expansion of the Grade II*-listed chapel includes a new sanctuary with an octagonal plan form and roof lantern formed of self-supporting curved structural glass.

The project embraced both 21st century technology, such as BIM, and traditional craftsmanship, to provide additional seating for the growing school and futureproof the building as a central place of worship.
