Building Information

Status: Grade II listed central buildings, library, chapel and courts, in active use

Brief Overview:
Churchill College was founded to expand access to science and technology education at Cambridge and to embody a forward-looking post-war spirit. Laid out as a series of linked two and three-storey courts in brown brick with strong horizontal concrete bands and large bay windows, the campus offers on-site accommodation, teaching and social spaces for hundreds of students. Its bold scale, landscape setting and expressive use of concrete and brick have made it a touchstone of English Brutalism and a landmark in the history of British university architecture.

Making my concrete model

Churchill College, Cambridge

Churchill College was founded to champion science after the war, and it still feels unlike anywhere else in Cambridge. The Churchill College miniature concrete model captures Richard Sheppard, Robson & Partners' 1960s campus of linked courts: brown brick bound by heavy concrete bands. Its central buildings are now Grade II listed. This concrete model of Churchill College keeps that low, court-based plan in a compact 9cm piece for a desk, shelf or study. It's made for Churchill alumni, fellows and staff, architects who study Cambridge's modernist colleges, and fans of Brutalist architecture. It's a graduation or reunion gift with meaning. It sits well with the Murray Edwards and New Court models. Each miniature concrete building is hand-cast in solid concrete, so its texture is its own.
