140 Years of Selwyn Anniversary Appeal

Body
We are extremely grateful to the over 400 individuals who have generously supported Selwyn’s Anniversary Appeal, helping to raise £2.5 million to renew historic areas of the college.

The college’s low-carbon postgraduate housing is now complete, with 29 & 31 Grange Road, and 1 Selwyn Gardens transformed to provide bright, comfortable, warm living spaces for some of the college’s growing postgraduate community. And, thanks to the ground source heating, there’s not a radiator or fossil fuel boiler in sight!

The Old Library has been given a new lease of life, and is now home to high quality, modern teaching and supervision spaces, as well as an accessible college archive and the college’s first dedicated area for alumni and friends.
