This, the front elevation of the Oxford Brookes University Marston Road Campus, looks out over an extensive public recreation ground called Milham Ford Nature Park, albeit that this is simply a 16 acre (6.5 ha) grassed area incorporating a children's playground area. The building functioned as Milham Ford School during 1938-2003. It became a girls' grammar school in 1944 and a girls' comprehensive school in 1974. However, the University's School of Health and Social Care has occupied the building since 2004. The main entrances are via Jack Straw's Lane and McCabe Place, each of which approach one of the building's end elevations.
