Queen's Lane Modernisation
Queen’s lane is the centre of Hall life and in order to ensure that it remains fit for purpose, we must:
- Refurbish and rewire the Front Quad and its 18 rooms. (£3m)
- Improve the energy efficiency of the site, including extensive double-glazing of the Kelly and Emden Buildings and other conservation initiatives. (£1.6m)
- Ensure key parts of the estate are fully accessible to those with restricted mobility and that we create at least one fully-adapted en-suite bedroom, with an adjacent nurse’s room. (£500k)
Sustainability and Conservation
Sustainability lies at the heart of Teddy Hall’s ambition to be the greenest college in Oxford. In order to reach this goal, we have the following ambitions.

Accessibility
As part of our mission to be truly inclusive, we must ensure that key parts of the estate are fully accessible to those students, staff and visitors with restricted mobility.
