The Quadrangle includes the University Art Gallery (A14B), Great Hall (A14C) and MacLaurin Hall (A14D).
The design of the Quadrangle is a reflection of the tradition of the great British universities. The stained glass windows in the Great Hall include the Oxford, the Cambridge and the Royal windows; the stone carvings show images of Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort with the initials ‘VR’ along with the royal motto. The crown and the Tudor rose can also be found in some of the oldest sections of the Quadrangle.
