Adjoining the existing listed building of classic English architecture, the new building's modern steel and glass facade provides a striking yet pleasing contrast to the stone buttresses and leaded glass of the old building. The buildings are linked by glazed walkthroughs and the newly-formed courtyards offer a diversity of landscape.
