Wantage Hall, University residence hall in Reading, England.
Wantage Hall is a red brick residence building organized around a traditional courtyard with stone trim and a clock tower entrance gateway. The structure combines its early 1900s original section with a later extension and houses roughly 40 residents.
The hall was founded in 1908 and served as a military aeronautics training center during World War I. It later became a student residence and received listing as a historic building.
The Tudor Revival architecture of Wantage Hall represents a Grade II listed building status, requiring preservation of its historical elements.
Access passes through the entrance gateway, which leads into the central courtyard area. The layout divides between the older original building and the newer wing, which helps orient visitors exploring the site.
The building comprises two spatially distinct sections: the original Old Court with traditional college design and the New Court added in the 1970s. These two areas showcase different construction periods and architectural approaches that exist side by side.
