The Front Quad was built for the college's foundation and designed in an archetypal Oxford college style, with a tower over the main gate. The quad was constructed by distinguished builders associated with Henry VIII's Office of Work: master mason [[William Vertue]], master mason William East and carpenter Humphrey Coke (Warden of the [[Worshipful Company of Carpenters|Carpenter's Company]] in London).{{sfn|Tyack|1998|pp=72–73}} The quad's architecture later inspired that of [[Oglethorpe University]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/education/oglethorpe-university |title=Oglethorpe University |last=Hudson |first=Paul Stephen |date=21 November 2016 |website=New Georgia Encyclopedia}}</ref> Although by then considered heavily antiquated, in 1625 battlements were added to make the effect more complete and akin to other colleges.

The chapel adjoins the library and is just off the Front Quad. Its location is unusual: many colleges (even small ones) had their chapel in their main quad, with some colleges placing them on the first floor to fit them in (e.g. Lincoln and Brasenose).{{sfn|Charles-Edwards|Reid|2017|p=31}} Its lectern is one of the first bronze eagle lecterns in Oxford; it is the only pre-Reformation one <!-- which still exists? --> and was a gift of the first president. The chapel's [[altarpiece]] is a copy of Ruben's Adoration of the Shepherds, a gift from the antiquarian [[Sir Richard Worsley, 7th Baronet|Sir Richard Worsley]].{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1974|pp=29, 131}}{{sfn|Fowler|1898|p=45}}

Later buildings on the main site include the Fellows' Building of 1706–1716, the Gentlemen Commoners' Building of 1737 and the Emily Thomas Building, designed by [[Thomas Harold Hughes|T.H. Hughes]], of 1928.<ref name="VCH" /><ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/oxon/pp48-54 |title=An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in the City of Oxford |chapter=Corpus Christi College |date=1939 |publisher=His Majesty's Stationery Office |location=London |pages=48–54 |access-date=18 January 2022}}</ref>

On the corner of [[Merton Street]] and [[Magpie Lane]], lie the Jackson and Oldham buildings and Kybald Twychen, which all house students. In 1884–85, the architect [[Thomas Graham Jackson|T. G. Jackson]] had first installed a 'New Building and Annexe', replacing town houses on Magpie Lane.{{sfn|Fowler|1898|pp=46, 222}} In 1969, this work was trimmed and modified to make space for a further new building created by [[Philip Powell (architect)|Philip Powell]] and [[Hidalgo Moya]] using a modernist [[beehive]] design, while leaving Jackson's Annexe substantially intact.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ccctheestate.com/about.html |title=The Corpus Estate |author=Alan Baxter Associates |date=2014 |publisher=Corpus Christi College, Oxford | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180820114255/http://ccctheestate.com/about.html | archive-date=20 August 2018 }}</ref> Powell and Moya's building uses local limestone rubble and has the architects' characteristically large windows mounted within an exposed concrete frame. Particular attention was paid to placing the design within the existing architectural context, including the plain wall of Oriel College, Merton's [[English Gothic architecture#Early English Gothic|Gothic]] chapel and Jackson's heavily ornamented Annexe.{{sfn|Tyack|1998|p=315}} In 2017, the New Building and Annexe were substantially renovated and renamed the Oldham and Jackson Buildings, respectively.<ref name="completed accommodation">{{Cite web |url=http://ccctheestate.com/gallery_703782.html |title=Completed {{sic|nolink=y|accom|odation}}; Projects |date=2016 |publisher=Corpus Christi College, Oxford |url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180820120303/http://ccctheestate.com/gallery_703782.html | archive-date=20 August 2018 }}</ref>
