The college is a model for collegiate architecture as for the first time a college in Oxford was designed as a single group of buildings. The master mason William Wynford is credited as responsible for the design.

The Gatehouse lies at the end of the narrow, shadowy New College Lane. In the tower above the gateway which leads into the Great Quad, are three statues depicting the
Virgin, the Archangel Gabriel and William of Wykeham (the college founder) The rooms above the gateway in the three storey tower are part of the Warden’s lodgings.
