completes work on new social spaces at 16th century St John’s College in Cambridge
Cambridge-based architects MCW has completed work on a new cluster of social spaces at the heart of St John’s College, Cambridge, transforming a 500-year-old tradition of community dining on the site. Alongside a new bar and rebuilt buttery dining room is a café – a first for the college since its foundation in 1511. The new social spaces aim to fuse the contemporary need for an airy and vibrant social hub and eatery for students and academics alike, using modern construction methods and contemporary material choices, while preserving a sense of history and character. The most significant element of the scheme is the new glulam oak
superstructure of the buttery dining room. The project represents the first major
step in response to a recognised need to provide an inclusive, supportive and energising social space at the centre of the campus. Paula Mejia-Wright, project lead for
MCW, commented: ‘The application of contemporary retrofitting into historic settings is going to be crucial for colleges to thrive beyond the 21st Century. With collaborative design work, we have been able to re-energise an important part of the College, creating a sustainable and elegant meeting place for the whole college community.’
