Christ's College - Memorial Dining Hall (1925)
The Dining Hall, built in 1925, is generally recognised as one of Ceil Wood’s finest works, although sadly it was never submitted for consideration of an NZIA Gold Medal award. Designed in the Collegiate Gothic Style and referencing the Great Hall at Christ Church in Oxford, the building expresses the spirit and traditions of Christ’s College and reflects the high-minded ideals of its founders. This wonderfully atmospheric hall has been a central gathering place for students for close to one hundred years and is still in use as a dining hall today.
