The Hub
Oxford University’s first Passivhaus-certified building.
Housing both our Common Room and the Hub Café, the Passivhaus ‘green’ standard is supported by the College’s eco-friendly philosophy: the majority of the packaging used is compostable; our coffee is from the local coffee company, Jericho Coffee Traders, who support coffee growing farms, charities and cooperatives in Africa and South America; our tea is Rainforest Alliance certified and we stock a range of Fairtrade products; our ingredients are sourced locally, where possible; and we use biodegradable packaging for our products.
