Overview

Founded as University College in 1965, we were heralded as both the first mixed Cambridge college and the first college to be established by the University itself. In our 60th anniversary year, learn more about the vision behind the Wolfson we know today and the pathfinders who shaped it, through original archive documents, photographs, architectural plans and landscape drawings.
