The College is delighted to announce the completion of the construction of a major building project - the Gateway Buildings.

This project has added 54 en-suite student study bedrooms, increasing the number of rooms available to our students by around 25% to over 250 rooms. The buildings have also provided us with a brand new Lodge and a significant entrance to the College on the Woodstock Road - the "Gateway" - in addition to a new home for most of the College's administrative staff, who have moved out of the original "Main Building". We are also delighted to announce that the project has provided for the first time, a drop-in space for our many Senior Associate Members, Emeritus and Honorary Fellows and other Members, for whom we have been unable to provide workspace in the past.

The smaller of the two handsome and striking buildings house this workspace, in addition to the Lodge and 18 of the 54 new bedrooms, and it was with great pleasure , at a ceremony held at the end of March, that the building was named "The Ghassan Shaker Building" in recognition of the tremendous support and very generous benefaction of His Excellency Ghassan I Shaker whose generous donation contributed much to the cost of the project, and for which the College is enormously grateful.
