Christopher Dobson Building


The Christopher Dobson Building is the central hub for Selwyn’s administrative functions. Opened in 2005 as part of phase one of the Ann's Court building project, it was formally named in May 2021 to honour Dr Chris Dobson (SE 1957)

It houses the Admissions Office, Tutorial Office, IT Office and the Bursary. Having a single, dedicated space for these essential operations has proved invaluable for the College.

Be part of the next chapter of Selwyn’s development

As a college that was founded in the late 19th century without an endowment, the development of Selwyn’s estate has always depended on the generosity of benefactors, both alumni and other friends.  In the 21st century, the college continues to evolve plans to upgrade its much-loved heritage buildings, especially Old Court.  Additionally, there are ambitions for brand new buildings that will help ensure Selwyn continues to offer some of the best accommodation and facilities in Cambridge.
