Building a new Kitchen and refurbishing the Hall is St Anne’s top priority.

The construction of the Kitchen and Hall in 1959 was a defining moment for St Anne’s College. It created the Quad and enabled students and Fellows together to eat for the first time.

In 2001, a temporary Kitchen had to be built to replace the old Kitchen no longer fit for purpose.  Planning permission for this (extended several times) finally runs out next year.

The Kitchen and Hall are a vital part of College life, fuelling the study and research of both students and Fellows alike. We cannot continue to feed the College community without a proper Kitchen. The Kitchen is also essential in supporting the conference business which subsidises the tradition of great teaching at St Anne’s by £1 million every year.

We urgently need to raise £3 million to build a new Kitchen and refurbish the Hall. The College is not able to fund this amount from its small endowment. We need the support of our friends and Senior Members more than ever.

For further information about the Appeal view our Kitchen and Hall Appeal brochure.

Donating to St Anne’s Kitchen and Hall Appeal will help to ensure that St Anne’s has the best facilities, encouraging the brightest minds to apply and nourishing them whilst they are here.
You can help us to raise the £3 million urgently required to build our new Kitchen.
