Renovation of buildings on
the Old Addenbrookes Hospital site to form the
first hostel for disabled students at the University
of Cambridge and Anglia University, to be run
by the Shaftesbury Society.
Student rooms are
grouped around a courtyard at ground floor
level with able-bodied students occupying the
upper floors.
A large common room, kitchen
and conservatory are used by all.
A purpose built
garden, known as ‘Charlies’ Garden’ has
been formed in a secluded area at the side of
the building with a plaque by David Kindersley.
The
building was formally opened by HRH Queen Elizabeth
the Queen Mother.
