We are very happy to learn that the Central Hall at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, will receive Grade II Listed status by Historic England, along with two other post-war buildings at the college. The news was recently reported by Architect’s Journal.
Peter Dann previously undertook refurbishment works on the Central Hall, including its iconic lantern which required re-roofing (below photo).
The building was designed in the early 1960s by architect Denys Lasdun – of National Theatre fame – and has been described by Historic England as seeming to ‘defy gravity […] a striking design.’
Fitzwilliam’s New Court and Chapel buildings were also listed at Grade II.
