The Chandrakala & Mansukhlal Shah Building, the new home for the Robinson College Archive, was officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sunday, 3 July 2022. Hosted by the Warden, Sir Richard Heaton KCB, and attended by many of the donors who had contributed to the building, it was a very special occasion.
The Advent Carol Service was held on Sunday 27th November 2022 at 16:00 in the College Chapel. With a series of carols, hymns and readings, the congregation celebrated the beginning of Advent and the Christmas story.
Thank you to all those who joined us on Saturday 3 December to celebrate the start of the holiday season in the company of the College Choir and student instrumentalists.

Historic England have announced that Robinson College has been listed at Grade II* by the Department of Digital Media, Culture and Sport.
The largest project ever undertaken by architects Isi Metzstein and Andy MacMillan for Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, Robinson was praised as a site of ‘very great architectural variety, inventiveness and interest’. Particular attention was drawn to the Chapel and Library, in which the building was considered to come closest ‘to an all-encompassing artwork’.
Robinson Fellow, Professor Rachel Oliver, has been awarded £2.5M by the Royal Academy of Engineering to develop her work on porous semiconductors. Funded by the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the Chair in Emerging Technologies scheme aims to identify global research visionaries and provide them with long-term support. The award will enable Oliver, Professor of Materials Science and Director of the Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride, to focus on strategic approaches for taking her technology from the bench to the boardroom.
