Public Consultation (2025)

Bidwells and Somerville College conducted a public consultation on the plans for the Ratan Tata Building from Monday 10th March – Friday 14th March 2025. During this period, we canvassed opinion from a wide range of stakeholders, including neighbours, local politicians, internal stakeholders and the general public. The feedback received from the public consultation informed the next stage of our designs, before finalising and submitting the proposals. Please note, the designs here are indicative as of March 2025.
