Sustain Brasenose

Endowed gifts provide a stable and lasting source of funding that supports scholarships, academic posts, facilities, and student support; areas that are vital to maintaining our high standards of teaching and research.

Brasenose is committed to improving the environmental performance of our historic buildings, working with technological experts to reduce our carbon footprint whilst maintaining architectural integrity. These improvements reflect our responsibility not just towards our current and future students – but to the wider world.

Brasenose is committed to bringing our rare books collection out of the shadows, enhancing its accessibility and impact by relocating it to a newly refurbished, purpose-designed reading room on the ground floor of the library. This dedicated space will offer an inspiring environment for students, researchers, and visitors to engage with these historic works.

Our Chapel, a rare example of Cromwellian Commonwealth architecture, exhibits a unique mixture of Gothic and Baroque structures with ornate Victorian detailing. We hope to carry out essential conservation work, ensuring the Chapel’s beautiful tranquillity is safeguarded.

Brasenose College’s sports grounds have served generations of students, but much of the existing infrastructure is now outdated and in need of refurbishment. At the same time, the College aims to integrate biodiversity improvements, including wildflower planting and habitat creation, to enrich the site environmentally.
