PLANS to revamp a key conference centre in Oxford city centre will be unveiled to the public later this month.

Oxford University said it will hold a special event into potential work at Rhodes House, at the corner of Parks Road and South Parks Road.

Representatives of Rhodes House and designers will be on hand to answer questions about the potential scheme.

In an advert, the university said: "We are holding a public consultation event to set out the development proposals relating to new accommodation, conferencing facilities and the general renovation of Rhodes House."

The building was completed in 1928, a tribute to the controversial imperialist and former Oriel College student, Cecil Rhodes.

He founded the Rhodes scholarship scheme, which was the world's first international study programme.

Rhodes House has six meeting spaces, with a capacity of up to 200 guests.

The university says on its website: "Completed in 1928, the house itself resembles a Cotswold mansion and is surrounded by glorious walled gardens where a magnificent and colourful floral display is a highlight."

The public consultation into possible changes will take place on September 16 between 4pm and 7pm at Milner Hall in Rhodes House.
