St Peter's has a varied set of buildings, many of them much older than the college itself. The college has, in effect, adapted existing buildings to provide the collective facilities needed for college life, and built new ones to provide student accommodation.
Linton Quad Linton House, a
Georgian rectory dating from 1797, stands on the east side of Linton Quad along New Inn Hall Street. It was originally built as the offices for the Oxford Canal Company and called Wyaston House. It was bought in 1878 by Canon Henry Linton who converted it to a
rectory for the
Church of St Peter-le-Bailey. Now known as Linton House, it serves as the porter's lodge (the entrance to the college) and is also home to the college library. On the south side of the quad stands the college chapel, the
Church of St Peter-le-Bailey. Built in 1874 and incorporating some of the stone of an earlier church, it is the third church of that name on or close to the site since the 12th century. Memorials to members of the
Chavasse family in the chapel include Captain
Noel Chavasse's original grave cross, a large
bas-relief of Bishop
Francis Chavasse at prayer and the Chavasse memorial window. The quad also includes the Latner building.
Hannington Quad buildings. In the Hannington Quad stands Hannington Hall. It dates from 1832 and is the only surviving part of New Inn Hall. The building was originally commissioned by
John Cramer, principal of New Inn Hall, as student accommodation and was designed by architect Thomas Greenshields. When New Inn Hall was absorbed by
Balliol in 1887 and most of New Inn Hall's buildings were demolished to make room for the Central Girls School building (now part of St Peter's Chavasse Quad), the Cramer building survived. It was bought by Reverend Talbot Rice, rector of St-Peter-le-Bailey, in 1897 and renamed after the Victorian missionary Bishop
James Hannington. After the founding of St Peter's it was remodelled to function as the dining hall.
Chavasse Quad The
Central Girls' School to the South of the original site of the college was designed by
Leonard Stokes and completed in 1901. It was converted into the college's Chavasse Building between 1984 and 1986 and provides living accommodation for students and seminar rooms. In 2018 the new Hubert Perrodo Building was completed offering further on-site accommodation and conference spaces. The
Middle Common Room (MCR) for postgraduates, and a music room are also located in the Pastry School in the quad's southwest corner.
Mulberry Quad The Mulberry Quad lies to the northwest of the Linton and provides for the direct access to the JCR. The Morris Building, currently student accommodation, was given by
Lord Nuffield in memory of his mother, Emily Morris. Castle Bailey Quad was funded through almost 900 donors and alumni contributions of close to £14m. The quad was officially opened on 15 June 2024 by the then Chancellor,
Chris Patten Canal House Canal House, the master's lodge, dates from the early 19th century.
Annexes St Peter's also has a few off-site accommodation blocks for students, a few minutes away from the main college site.
St Thomas' Street and St George's Gate house undergraduates, while
Paradise Street (which was officially opened in June 2008) houses postgraduates and fourth-year undergraduates. ==Student life==
