Beneath the Cambridge sky, the Bartlam Library / Quarry Whitehouse Auditorium stands as a modern marvel. It blends seamlessly with the historic grace of Selwyn College. Opened in 2021, the Bartlam Library / Quarry Whitehouse Auditorium isn’t just a building. It’s a testament to the college’s commitment to learning and the arts. This £13 million project was made possible entirely through the generosity of Selwyn College alumni and friends. They envisioned a space that would inspire future generations. The Bartlam Library / Quarry Whitehouse Auditorium fulfills that vision beautifully. The library itself is a haven for knowledge seekers. It boasts state-of-the-art computer facilities and ample space for study and research. It houses a vast collection of books. The Quarry Whitehouse Auditorium is a versatile space. It transforms to accommodate a variety of events. Imagine attending a lecture in the tiered seating for 139 guests. Or picture a reception with the seating retracted, allowing up to 200 people to mingle. The auditorium is equipped with cutting-edge audio-visual technology. This allows for hybrid events, video recording, and a seamless blend of in-person and online experiences. The Bartlam Library / Quarry Whitehouse Auditorium is more than just a library and auditorium. It’s a vibrant hub. It fosters intellectual curiosity and artistic expression within the historic walls of Selwyn College. The building materials, Coleford brick and limestone, echo the earlier residential phases of Ann’s Court. This creates a sense of unity and continuity. Yet the design stands out with its exuberant classical form and styling. The Bartlam Library / Quarry Whitehouse Auditorium is a true landmark. It enriches the University of Cambridge and provides a focal point for Selwyn College students.
