Examination School Competition Oxford

The Examination Schools were eventually designed by Thomas Graham Jackson, who went on to become Oxford’s most famous 19th century architect, in 1876 and their construction was completed in 1882. Sir Thomas Newenham Deane actually won two competitions to design the new Examination Schools, but in the end the new building was built to the designs of Jackson.
