In the photo above, the Maynard Wing can be seen on the left and the Chapman Wing can be seen on the right.

Westfield College continued to physically expand as the number of admitted students grew.  

In 1927, a new wing, named for Lady Chapman was added. The purpose of the wing was to prevent the overflow of students and provide rooms for additional staff, two lecture rooms and a second library. 

The Chapman Wing was placed at a right angle to Maynard and it faced Dudin Brown – the College hoped to create another building to finish the quadrangle. However, this was delayed due to focusing on establishing another residential and teaching building.
