NORTHGATE HOUSE
Our academic strategy sets ambitious objectives for expanding and enhancing the core priorities and purpose of the College. In turn this results in four key drivers, which are:
The need for additional space and facilities within College to meet our requirements for teaching and research;
The response of the College to the University’s ambition to grow postgraduate student numbers and related accommodation; Our vision for creating a public gateway
for the College to facilitate outreach and access, and make Jesus more accessible both physically and virtually; and
Establishing a Digital Hub that would bring together all at the College to facilitate knowledge exchange and impact.
These are challenging demands and considerable thought has gone into ways of addressing them. The city’s physical context is also a factor.The redevelopment of the Westgate Centre will
have implications for the College’s commercial interests in Cornmarket, necessitating some change in its current con guration. Northgate House, which comprises approximately half of our interests in Cornmarket, offers scope for enhancing the College’s existing central academic and accommodation facilities.
