Clare Hall, Cambridge

Storia

Clare Hall was founded in 1966 on the initiative of Clare College. It was envisaged as a college with three main classes of members: university teaching officers whose principal focus was research; visiting academics who would stay in Cambridge for between six months and a year; and graduate students. It would have a special link with Clare College, essentially as a satellite of it. It was seen as an Institute for Advanced Study, loosely modelled on the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton but shaped by its being a part of the University of Cambridge.

In the summer of 1996 the college purchased a substantial property, formerly the Cambridge home of Lord Rothschild, five minutes walk from the main college site at the western end of Herschel Road. We now know this as West Court. It now provides meeting rooms, studies, apartments, study bedrooms, and a very attractive garden. Right on the west edge of Cambridge, abutting on farm land, it provides the perfect quiet environment in which residents can think.
