An aerial, bird’s-eye view captures the active construction site of the new Waynflete Quad development at Magdalen College, Oxford. A large blue tower crane stands at the center of the excavated foundations, surrounded by scaffolding, concrete footings, and construction materials. The site is bounded by St Clement's Street and the River Cherwell, which flows past Magdalen Bridge on the right. Lush green trees and the historic cityscape of Oxford encircle the development area.
