===New Quad=== [[File:Mediaeval Kitchen at Brasenose College.jpg|thumb|The modernised Medieval Kitchen which was renovated in 2010β12, along with other changes to dining and some living rooms, in a series of building work known as "Project Q"<ref name="newdiningfacilities">{{cite book |url= http://www.bnc.ox.ac.uk/downloads/brazen_notes/the_brazen_nose_2010.pdf |title=The Brazen Nose 2012|publisher=Brasenose College |page=173 |access-date=11 July 2012}}</ref>]] New Quad was designed by [[Thomas Graham Jackson|TG Jackson]] and finished in 1911, replacing a number of existing buildings. The current site was completed in 1961 with new buildings, used largely for first year undergraduate accommodation, designed by the architects [[Philip Powell (architect)|Powell]] and [[Hidalgo Moya|Moya]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sherwood |first1=Jennifer |last2=Pevsner |first2=Nikolaus |date=1974 |title=Oxfordshire (Pevsner Architectural Guides: Buildings of England) |publisher=Yale University Press |page= |isbn=}}</ref> In 2010 a project was begun to renovate the kitchens, servery, dining hall and some other areas of college. The project included the installation of under floor heating and a new timber floor in the dining hall, new kitchen equipment, a new servery area, additional dining and meeting places, and disabled access to the dining hall.<ref name="newbuildingproject">Brasenose College Building Project Explained: Flyer viewed August 2010</ref> During the project, the Old Quad housed a temporary dining hall and kitchen, while the New Quad was used to store building materials.<ref name="newdiningfacilities"/> The dining hall refurbishment was completed by September 2010, whilst the remaining work was completed around Easter 2012. The new catering facilities were unveiled during a ceremony on 14 March 2012. During the ceremony, college members gathered in a restored 15th century building in the heart of college, originally the college kitchens and most recently used as the servery. This room, to be known as the Mediaeval Kitchen, will be used as a new dining space in addition to the main dining hall, which will remain the usual location for student meals. The temporary kitchen and builder's yard were removed and the Quads restored to their normal state during the Easter 2012 vacation.<ref name="cateringfacilitiesunveiled">[http://www.bnc.ox.ac.uk/288/about-brasenose-31/news-152/new-catering-facilities-unveiled-969.html New Catering Facilities Unveiled] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121031141210/http://www.bnc.ox.ac.uk/288/about-brasenose-31/news-152/new-catering-facilities-unveiled-969.html |date=31 October 2012 }}: Retrieved 2012-04-13</ref> In recent years the Junior Common Room (JCR) and Bar have also been renovated.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} [[File:Brasenose Frewin Annexe.jpg|thumb|The entrance to the undergraduate Frewin Annexe.]]
