PEMBROKE: AN EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY

for generations to come


A RE-FOUNDATION OF PEMBROKE

We have a unique and extraordinary opportunity. The redevelopment of the Mill Lane site – immediately next door to the medieval College – is the most important advance for Pembroke since its foundation in 1347. Pembroke has long been a place where knowledge, discovery, creativity, learning and innovation have thrived. The exchange of ideas, the chance encounters and conversations, the inspiration from outstanding teaching, the friends made for life: this is a remarkable place, and we have the chance now to make it even better.

Mill Lane will enlarge Pembroke’s footprint in the heart of Cambridge by a third. But the development is about much more than new buildings and enhanced facilities. It is about the lives and opportunities for future generations of students, researchers and Fellows, and the way they can be transformed.

Many Pembroke members and supporters have already been incredibly generous, not least the family of Ray Dolby whose £35 million donation has enabled us to embark on our plans. The family’s renewed generosity has now provided a pound-for-pound match-funding pledge for everything we raise for Mill Lane until the end of 2022. Let us seize this opportunity to transform Pembroke for future generations.

Lord Smith of Finsbury, Master of Pembroke College

PEMBROKE’S AMBITION IS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE CAN DO THEIR BEST WORK.

Mill Lane will give our students access to the finest educational facilities in Cambridge: a series of state-of-the-art seminar, lecture, and study spaces; an advanced computer lab; and - for the first time in the College’s history - an auditorium. “Pembroke is the place where so many in public life, in research, education, business and public service have learned how to think for themselves and in so doing, make ground-breaking impact on all walks of our lives. Mill Lane embodies our ambition to keep progressing this way.” Roger Ferguson (1973)

“I’m beyond excited that Pembroke is creating this amazing new site: it’s just what’s needed to ensure that students have a learning environment which is modern and adaptable, with great community spaces where undergraduates and graduates can interact and learn from each other.” Amber Turner (2017)

“These extraordinary facilities are going to help Pembroke, and Cambridge, continue to attract the best students from around the world to develop new ideas and explore their research. Mill Lane will make a huge contribution to ensuring that students can do this in a great community and in affordable circumstances.” Alberto Ippolito (2018)


CULTURE A PLACE FOR

New Gallery

PEMBROKE IS A PLACE WHERE GENERATIONS OF CREATIVE PEOPLE HAVE UNLOCKED THEIR POTENTIAL.

Mill Lane will significantly enhance the cultural life of Pembroke and of Cambridge as a whole. A 230-seat auditorium will be created within the former Emmanuel United Reformed Church, hosting lectures, talks, concerts and other performances, many of which will be open to the wider public.

A new gallery will enable the College to display its many treasures and collections, alongside exhibitions featuring collections from other institutions and academic work by our current students and Fellows.

“Pembroke people have made huge contributions to global cultural life, most notably but not exclusively in comedy, music and writing. The Mill Lane facilities will give our students new places to try new things and find new inspiration to enrich lives well beyond the fringes of Cambridge.�

Eric Idle (1962)


A PLACE FOR

COMMUNITY

THE COMMUNITY IS WHAT MAKES PEMBROKE SPECIAL AND MILL LANE WILL MAKE IT MORE SO. A new café-bar in the elegant central Mill Lane building, Stuart House, will complement the Parlours, Servery and Hall on the medieval site.

A large multi-purpose foyer alongside the auditorium will act as a busy gathering space during high capacity events and performances, as well as a daytime study, meeting and display area. It will become a hub of activity.

Several spaces on the Mill Lane site will have wellness and good mental health at their heart.We will help our students strengthen their resilience and find quietness away from their busy academic lives.

“Universities are places where young people grow and forge lifelong friendships through shared experience and mutual support. Pembroke is a place where everyone wants everyone else to do well and the Mill Lane site continues in this spirit while providing new places and opportunities for friendship and fun.” Jo Prior (1984)


PARTNERSHIP A PLACE FOR

THE MILL LANE DEVELOPMENT PROVIDES NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEMBROKE PEOPLE TO MAKE CONNECTIONS, BOTH WITH THE WORLD OUTSIDE AND WITH EACH OTHER. A Learning Centre will enable school students to visit us and to experience a taste of university life in one of the most welcoming colleges in Cambridge. A Partnership Centre based in Stuart House will attract scholars and corporate partners to work together and create new ideas in their fields.

CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMME

Unique among the Cambridge colleges, this programme facilitates mutually beneficial cooperation between the academic community (in Pembroke and the wider University) and corporates.

www.pem.cam.ac.uk/college/corporate-partnership

“Progress is very rarely achieved alone: the Partnership Centre is an ideal focal point for visiting scholars and corporate partners whose exchange of ideas and information will advance research and improve lives through better scientific and commercial understanding.”

Clare Chiu (2001)


HOME

A PLACE TO CALL THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND IDENTITY FOSTERED BY LIVING AND WORKING TOGETHER AROUND A COLLEGE COURT REMAINS UNRIVALLED. This Campaign will enable Pembroke to provide – at last – truly outstanding accommodation for all our undergraduate and graduate students who wish to live in College.

In the new Ray and Dagmar Dolby Court, 90 new study bedrooms – all at least 18m2 and most en-suite – will be built. They will be set around a beautiful courtyard, and will provide accommodation for both graduate students and undergraduates, helping to bring graduates closer to the heart of the Pembroke community. A further 20 rooms will be made available for accommodation on the medieval site as administrative offices move to Mill Lane.

EVERY £1 YOU GIVE IS WORTH £2

THE FAMILY OF RAY DOLBY HAS PLEDGED TO MATCH EVERY £1 DONATED WITH ANOTHER £1 UNTIL THE END OF 2022.

Information is included inside the back cover of this brochure. Alternatively, donate online at www.thetimeandtheplace.org.uk

“Pembroke’s not a grand college, but it is a great college. Mill Lane will ensure that a far greater proportion of our students experience this extraordinary place much more intimately and in so doing not just gain from, but make an even greater contribution to the future of scholarly life and social community here.” Tim Brooke-Taylor (1960)


MAKE YOUR MARK THE PLACE TO

EVERY DONATION TO THE TIME AND THE PLACE CAMPAIGN HELPS TO WRITE THIS EXCITING NEW CHAPTER IN THE PEMBROKE STORY.

Unless you wish your donation to be anonymous, there are many ways in which the College will permanently acknowledge your generosity and your role in making sure that the Pembroke community is properly equipped to meet the challenges of the future.

A Book of Benefactors will be created for permanent display, a wall featuring the engraved names of leading donors will be installed, and there are other opportunities for naming flagstones, seats, rooms, staircases and buildings.

Our College has produced more than its fair share of people who have gone on to change the world for the better; their achievements are rooted in the academic freedom and pursuit of excellence that our community nourishes.

This, the greatest physical transformation in Pembroke’s long history, will ensure that the College continues to support the best minds of this and future generations. Thank you for helping us to turn this vision into a reality.
