Amending Statutes for Corpus Christi College

20 June 2016

The Vice-Chancellor begs leave to refer to his Notice of 24 May 2016 (Reporter, 6427, 2015–16, p. 572), concerning proposed amending Statutes for Corpus Christi College. He hereby gives notice that in the opinion of the Council the proposed Statutes make no alteration of any Statute which affects the University, and do not require the consent of the University; that the interests of the University are not prejudiced by them, and that the Council has resolved to take no action upon them, provided that the Council will wish to reconsider the proposed Statutes if they have not been submitted to the Privy Council by 20 June 2017.

Provision of a new link corridor between the buildings at 5 and 7 Cranmer Road

20 June 2016

The following Notice is published to advise the University of works which are not considered to be a ‘substantial alteration’ within the meaning of Statute F II 3 and therefore do not require a Report but are nevertheless of interest or consequence to members of the Regent House and others (Reporter, 6259, 2011–12, p. 498).

The Lauterpacht Centre for International Law is part of the Faculty of Law and is situated in two adjoining Victorian houses at 5 and 7 Cranmer Road.

Although the physical space between the two buildings is only 1.2m, the current pedestrian route is approximately 40m. A proposal has been developed to construct a link corridor, the provision of which will significantly shorten the pedestrian route between the two buildings and greatly enhance the ability of wheelchair users to move between the two buildings.

The works comprise of mainly internal reconfiguration within the existing space, with only minor impact on the front elevation of the buildings and no change to the existing external access to the buildings.

The estimated cost of the work is in the region of £180,000–£200,000 and is to be funded by the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law.

Drawings of the proposed development are displayed for the information of the University in the Schools Arcade and are reproduced online at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/cam-only/offices/planning/building/plans_and_drawings/.

The Committee continues to cap the grant to be made to any one College and has limited the maximum grant to 150% of the average grant.

4. The Colleges Fund Committee has not approved any exceptional grants in addition to the endowment-based grants listed above.
