Scope and content
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.
