Darwin College
Cambridge, United Kingdom 2018–present
Client: Darwin College, University of Cambridge Grade II listed
Darwin College was founded in 1964 and was the first college at the University of Cambridge intended exclusively for graduate students. Today, Darwin College is the largest graduate college in Cambridge. The main college campus binds together domestically scaled buildings from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and some of these buildings are now listed. The College has beautiful gardens along the River Cam, with an aspect over Coe Fen on the west side of the city.
Caruso St John was appointed in 2018 to prepare a masterplan for the coordination of further works to the central area of the campus. The plan provides more social spaces for the expanding studentship and focuses on improving college facilities and making more of the buildings accessible.
