Find out more about University of Cambridge’s Stirling Building refurbishment plans
The University of Cambridge is inviting local residents, colleges and businesses to attend a public consultation event to find out more about plans for the refurbishment of the grade II-listed Stirling Building, home to the Faculty of History and the Seeley Library.
The event will take place in the entrance foyer of the Stirling Building, off West Road, on Tuesday (16 July), from 4-7pm for the local community to view the plans and provide feedback on the proposed restoration of this architectural landmark.
Professor Tim Harper, head of the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences, said: “The project is true to James Stirling’s vision in that it looks to the future.
“It will enable all those who use the building to work together in new and exciting ways.”
This landmark project will restore and revitalise one of the iconic ‘Red Trilogy’ – the triumvirate of university buildings designed in the 1960s by post-war architect, James Stirling.
The project is still in the early stages of the development process – with construction due to start from 2025, subject to university approvals, including a grace to Regent House, and planning and listed building approvals from Cambridge City Council.
Feedback received will be incorporated into future design work ahead of the planning submission targeted for late summer 2024.
