We are now in the final weeks of construction of the Learning Resource Centre. The stonemasons are almost finished the front elevation. We are looking forward to getting the keys and commissioning the new building during May. We've around 27,000 books to move in after the exams and will have double the number of study spaces over the existing library as well as a state-of-the art lecture room and seminar room on the ground floor. College extends a huge thank you to all those alumni and friends who have made this project possible.

See how the landscape of Durham has changed since your student days during the All Years Reunion. Alumnus Richard Andrew Roberts will lead a walking tour during which we will explore some of the significant changes in the buildings and landscapes of Durham over the last 50 years.
