Blue Boar Quadrangle, Grade II* listed modernist quadrangle at Christ Church College, Oxford, United Kingdom.
The Blue Boar Quadrangle stands as a modernist residential complex designed by Powell & Moya in 1968, featuring Portland stone facades and geometric forms that contrast with Oxford's traditional collegiate architecture.
Constructed between 1965 and 1968 on the site of former car parks and garages, the quadrangle represents the expansion of higher education facilities during the transformative 1960s period.
As part of Christ Church College, the quadrangle serves as a residential hub for first-year undergraduates, fostering academic community life through its communal spaces and student accommodation facilities.
The building houses approximately 75 student rooms with en-suite facilities, seminar rooms, and a lecture theatre, accessible via the connection pathway established between Peckwater and Tom Quads.
Despite being a 1960s structure, the quadrangle achieved Grade II* listed status in 2006, making it one of only around twenty thousand buildings in England with this special architectural recognition.
