Ash Court is a new residential wing at Girton College, University of Cambridge which provides 50 student en-suite bedrooms, gym accommodation and an indoor swimming pool. The new facilities also form a hub for conference guests outside of term time.
Designed as a natural extension of the existing college and continuing its valued brick cloister, the new building takes a linear form and is flanked by a stone colonnade which addresses a new landscaped courtyard.
The college had set very ambitious environmental targets and the design drew on the pioneering PassivHaus approach which yields extremely low levels of energy consumption. The project won two RIBA Awards in 2014, including a Special Sustainability Award, as well as a Green Apple Award.
