This new accommodation block replaced a Victorian villa. It is slightly S-shaped (sigmoidal) because some of the trees on the site, including a Redwood (Sequoia) on the other side of the building, have preservation orders. This no doubt added to the cost but also makes the building more interesting. At the rear of the building is a new conference centre. A Porters' Lodge (whose roof is just visible at the left in the photo) was also added on the site.
