® Florian European Oak for award-winning new library at Magdalene College , Cambridge
Winner of both the Gold Award and the Education and Public Sector category of the Wood Awards 2021 , Magdalene College Library in Cambridge is a striking example of sympathetic design , beautiful materials and careful craftmanship
Built alongside the Grade I listed Pepys Library , it is the first substantial addition to the main site in over 50 years .
The library design is based upon an arrangement of simple brick volumes with timber windows and pitched roofs echoing the gabled architecture of the existing college .
