Nestled on the banks of the River Cam, Darwin College, Cambridge is a unique assembly of 18th and 19th century domestic architecture, distinguished 20th century collegiate buildings, and riverside landscape.

John Bradfield Court is the most recent addition to this rich collage of buildings and layering of historical periods. It defines the edge of the college closest to the city, creating a new college entrance and adding the distinctive sculptural form of a new multipurpose space.

It also addresses the oldest part of the college, restoring the Grade II listed Old Granary. First remodelled into residential use in the 1880s by architect J.J. Stevenson, the Old Granary had been converted into student accommodation in the 1960s with little consideration to the quality of its historic spaces. Allies and Morrison have now restored it in an exemplary fashion, delivering contemporary student accommodation while re-establishing the character and integrity of the original building.
