A NEW LIBRARY & AUDITORIUM

The latest addition to Selwyn is nearing completion. After 18 months of construction work, the building is expected to be handed over to the college in March 2021 and ready for use by students for the Michaelmas term.

We are extremely grateful to the over 1000 individual donors who together have raised £12.6 million to fully fund the project. The building will be known as the Bartlam Library and Quarry Whitehouse Auditorium in recognition of particularly generous donations. 

Here you can view some of the latest images for the new Library & Auditorium.

"This is a once-in-a-generation project for Selwyn: the creation of a building that will complement our history and serve the future needs of our community. It will transform the northwest of the college - the area at the corner of Grange Road and West Road - by completing Ann's Court; and inside there will be a library fit for the 21st century and beyond, with an auditorium that will bring a lively public space into the heart of our site.

It was philanthropy that built Old Court and the Chapel and Hall; and it was benefactors who made possible Cripps Court and Ann's Court. Now we invite you to be part of the next major development for the college, which will show a lasting commitment to excellence for our students and the wider community."
