Plans of new archive facility
Plans of College buildings and properties, as well as properties belonging to other Colleges. Buildings mainly in Cambridge or Cambridgeshire, but with plans of buildings around the country.
The site is part of one of the College's ancient estates, the demesne of Mortimer's Manor, Newnham, which was given to the College by Anne Scroope in 1498 and enclosed in 1803. After enclosure, plots of land were let on building leases, such as the lease of the site for West House to C.J. Clay in 1873. The house was brought back into College hands in the 1960, and has since been used as accommodation for fellows and students.
These plans document recent renovations to the property.

Caius Court, as the name suggests, was built under the direction of John Caius in the 1560s, providing accommodation for Fellows and students. Apart from the refacing of the College chapel in 1717 and restoration of the gate of Honour, the court has remained largely unchanged since its construction, therefore the surviving plans are largely concerned with cosmetic changes and provision of services.
The Bateman auditorium was created in 1996 from a garage and bicycle shed which had been built as a College lecture-room in 1883-5 on the site of the Master's stable. These plans also include unrealised designs from the 1970s to develop this space as the College Library.
