This is the view as you enter the College from the Porters Lodge, known as the Round. On this side of the river you’ll find student accommodation in Cripps Court and the Fisher Building, the main dining hall (Cripps Dining Hall), the Fitzpatrick Hall, the bar, the MCR, the JCR, the gym, squash courts and a variety of teaching and seminar spaces. From here you can use the Mathematical Bridge to cross to the ‘old’ side of the College where you’ll find more accommodation, the Library, the Chapel, Old Hall and Old Kitchens.

Founded in 1448, the Old Library is still situated in its original room with bookcases made from medieval lecterns. Although none of the original collection remains, the library holds a fine and hugely significant collection of around 20000 early printed books and manuscripts dating from the 12th to 19th centuries.

The Chapel is not trying to be a Parish Church but a place of prayer, contemplation and worship for those (like very busy students) whose lives do not always respond to the timetables set out by parish churches.

Its primary purpose is to build collections and offer assistance to support learning and research undertaken by Queens’ students, as well as providing a quiet and pleasant atmosphere in which to work.
