The Tata Group and Somerville College at Oxford University are joining forces to build the Ratan Tata Building, honoring the late Chairman Emeritus of the Tata Group. This initiative stems from a strong friendship that lasted over a decade. The new building will enhance teaching and learning spaces, promoting research with a global impact. Construction is set to begin in Spring 2025 and will feature seminar rooms, offices, collaborative study areas, and accommodations for visiting scholars. This project aims to create a sustainable academic community and establish a permanent home for the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development.
