The buildings of Nuffield College, one of the colleges of the University of Oxford, are to the west of the city centre of Oxford, England, and stand on the site of the basin of the Oxford Canal. Nuffield College was founded in 1937 after a donation to the University by the car manufacturer Lord Nuffield; he gave land for the college, as well as £900,000 (approximately £246 million in present-day terms) to build and endow it. The architect Austen Harrison, who had worked in Greece and Palestine, was appointed by the University to design the buildings. His initial design, heavily influenced by Mediterranean architecture, was rejected by Nuffield, who called it "un-English" and refused to allow his name to be associated with it. Harrison reworked the plans, aiming for "something on the lines

rdfs:comment	牛津納菲爾德學院教樓是該學院的主建築物，轄屬的學院屬於英國牛津大學納菲爾德學院，该学院成立於1937年，第一棟建物也在隨後建造完成。該第二棟教樓設計始於1949年，但直到1960年才勉強完成粗胚工程。進度落後原因，大都被歸於戰後建設限制，在這期間，原本的普通房舍建築被更動為塔式建築，此變化主因在於觀賞性考量。之後，此教樓也增蓋了宿舍、研究室、圖書館及行政辦公室。知名建築史學家曾說，納菲爾德學院教樓是牛津大學內的最顯著的敗筆，不過也有建築家並不這麼認為，這些人讚揚該教樓的塔式建築美化了牛津大學的天際線，並預測未來某天，此建築會成為受歡迎的建物。 (zh) The buildings of Nuffield College, one of the colleges of the University of Oxford, are to the west of the city centre of Oxford, England, and stand on the site of the basin of the Oxford Canal.

Il Nuffield College fu fondato nel 1937 dopo una donazione all'Università dell'imprenditore automobilistico Lord Nuffield: fornì la terra necessaria alla costruzione del complesso e una cifra di £900,000 (approssimativamente £246 milioni attuali) per completare il progetto. L'architetto Austen Harrison, dopo i lavori in Grecia e Palestina, fu incaricato dall'università di disegnare l'intero complesso. La sua idea iniziale, fortemente influenzata dall'architettura mediterranea, fu respinta da Nuffield che la definì "un-English", ossia non britannica, e rifiutò di associare il suo nome al progetto.
