University College Boathouse, Grade II listed boathouse in Oxford, England.

The University College Boathouse stands on the southern bank of the River Thames, featuring a cantilevered roof design with extensive glass walls and viewing terraces.

The original 19th-century boathouse, designed by John Oldrid Scott, was destroyed by fire in 1999 and replaced with a new structure in 2007 at a cost of £2.7 million.

The boathouse serves multiple Oxford colleges, including University College, Wolfson, St Peter's, and Somerville, providing essential facilities for collegiate rowing competitions.

The building contains student accommodation, training facilities, and a glass-walled clubroom offering clear views of rowing activities on the River Thames.

The Royal Institute of British Architects recognized the modern structure for its design, which incorporates a viewing terrace named after benefactors Jimmy and Jamie Coleman.
