Architecture
The College campus consists of several buildings:
Aldridge - The first building off Elboden Street, Aldridge houses approximately 48 residents and the College Office
Michael Webber House - Situated ‘behind’ Aldridge, ‘Webber’ is a repurposed period house containing the Edwin Pitman (common) Room and eight large bedrooms. Webber is most commonly occupied by returning residents.
Horton - The second building along the driveway, Horton house approximately 40 residents, the Horton Common Room, College laundry, weights room and Jane Shop (a small, student staffed shop open in the evening and selling coffee, beer, wine, lollies and snacks).
The main building of College contains Asten, Barrett, Vines and Fleming
Asten Wing - Asten is the home of the Kitchen and Dining Hall, Student Club Committee office and approximately 52 residents.
Barrett Wing - The oldest area of College, Barrett is named after Archdeacon Barrett, and was the original house purchased by the College. The high vaulted ceilings and seven larger rooms attract residents and are typically allocated by academic merit and community contribution. Barrett is home to the Senior Common Room, Art Room, Billiards Room (including a full sized snooker table), and Link room (containing a full sized grand piano).
Vines Wing - The College Library and approximately 26 students are located in Vines, which is opposite the bus stop.
Fleming Wing - There are seven larger flats in Fleming, most with ensuite bathrooms. These rooms are often allocated to returning residents who have demonstrated significant academic achievement or contribution to the College, but may also be issued to residents who require ensuite facilities for whatever reason.
An additional surcharge is attracted by large rooms and ensuited rooms.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“And when his hours are numbered, and the world
Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
Built in an age, the mad wind’s night-work,
The frolic architecture of the snow.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Art is a jealous mistress, and, if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The principle of the Gothic architecture is infinity made imaginable.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
