Location

Departments

The history and history of art departments are situated in Vanbrugh on the first and second floors.

Accommodation

Social Spaces

Vanbrugh is situated next to Vanbrugh Paradise - a large open space next to the lake in front of the college. It is paved and has a few flower beds, but it rather run down. It's still nice to sit there is summer though and the place has been known to host events like the Summer Woodstock festival.

Gardens

Dining room

The dinning room in Vanbrugh underwent a major renovation a few years back to have a very modern canteen style serving area with numerous fridges holding sandwiches, drinks and cakes. There is also a self-service salad area and traditional canteen bars for snacks and more substantial hot meals.

The seating itself is either in the bar area or the big Hall in Vanbrugh which contains huge round tables.

Bar

You walk past the bar to get to the dinning room in Vanbrugh. It's quite large bar that is more separate from eating areas than in some colleges, though it is still closely attached.

Study Rooms

Lecture Theatres

Vanbrugfh is home to one of the large lecture theatres - VO45 - sitated on the ground floor near the walkway down from Market Square and the Library. Try to avoid having to walk through Vanburgh between about o'clock and quarter past the hour during the day as it will ususally be packed in that area with people waiting to use the lecture theatre next session.
