Annex Refurbishment Following hot on the heels of the decarbonisation of Wolfson’s original Powell & Moya buildings, the winter of 2022- 23 saw the renovation of another key Wolfson building to zero-carbon emitting standards. The Annex, on the corner of Linton and Chadlington roads at the entrance to college, has been home to many generations of Wolfson students. Not only is it now fully powered by electricity like the rest of Wolfson’s estate, it also boasts brand new kitchens, windows, lights, carpets and flooring, plus a newly landscaped garden for all to enjoy. Before and after photos show the transformation and summarise the key enhancements. 1 4 10

Internal refurbishment - improvements to comfort, functionality, and general amenity within the Annex were a key goal of the internal refurb project; the old 1970s style kitchens have been replaced with ultra-modern, space efficient replacements, lighting has been modernised, carpets have been changed and redecorations have been completed.
