Florey Building, Modernist student residence at Queen's College, Oxford, United Kingdom

The Florey Building features red industrial bricks and tiles in an A-shaped structure, with 74 single rooms arranged around an irregularly shaped courtyard.

James Stirling designed this university accommodation in 1966 as the final part of The Red Trilogy, following Leicester Engineering and Cambridge History buildings.

The building received Grade II* listed status in 2018, reflecting its importance in British architectural development and educational facilities design.

Students occupy rooms across four levels, with each accommodation facing east or west to receive natural light through factory-made glazing systems.

The structure stands on exposed concrete A-frame supports at ground level, with a tower containing a lift and staircase connected by glazed bridges.
