A versatile meeting space and modern fitness centre

The Lower Gym (Old Gymnasium) within the Pavilion has been used for sitting examinations and a variety of other occasional uses for many years but is an underutilised space in a prime position on the College campus. Exciting and ambitious plans are being drawn up to transform this iconic building.

A large and versatile meeting and function space will be created with a new mezzanine floor. This first floor area will have restored windows onto Thirlestaine Road and open onto the balcony overlooking College Field. The ground floor area will include new fitness and changing facilities.
