The Denys Wilkinson Building features angular architecture with thick concrete walls and a notable fan-shaped superstructure rising above Oxford's academic quarter.
Built in 1967 by Philip Dowson at Arup, the facility initially operated as the Nuclear Physics Laboratory before receiving its current name in 2001.
