New College Village to open in 6 weeks!

PLEASE NOTE: This is an old post, the NCV opened on the 5th January 2009

The New College Village is nearing completion. An update on progress:

• The interior of the building is virtually finished with final touches being made to painting, furniture being installed, signage being added and systems being tested.
• The main central courtyard and rooftop terrace are taking shape with tiling and planting to start soon.
• The external finishes are within 2-3 weeks of completion with the wonderful eatern glass facade the last element to be completed (should be in 2 weeks).

The building is looking magnificent with daily comments being made by everyone who sees it. As I wander the corridors I can envisage our vibrant community using the many great spaces that we've created. I'm also reminded that every part of the building has its own character and outlook - there are lovely views from every side of the building.

Here are some photographic highlights.
