Oatridge College, 1972, Colin Webster
Cascading down its green slope like a new university with the concrete geometric shapes, slender mullions, monopitched roof, bays and clerestories inspired by ACP's Students' Union in Durham. The search for richness in later development has not been accompanied by comparable control. Forth, a court in white concrete blocks, is a self-conscious, contemporary farm steading; arcaded entrance wing, outsize crowstepped pavilions, and a hexagonal seminar room projecting like a horsemill.
