The Blavatnik School of Government, part of the University of Oxford, seeks to improve, inform and support better public policy and government in every country of the world. The interior of the building presents and organic image, built using curves and some natural materials soft in appearance.

The building façade features Saint-Gobain DIAMANT, a very low iron glass chosen for its clarity and premium, highly neutral aesthetic, which has led to the creation of a beautiful, glazed façade, that works with the curves of the building.
