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:
“Defaced ruins of architecture and statuary, like the wrinkles of decrepitude of a once beautiful woman, only make one regret that one did not see them when they were enchanting.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“Polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies; and when the second-sight of the mind is opened, now one color or form or gesture, and now another, has a pungency, as if a more interior ray had been emitted, disclosing its deep holdings in the frame of things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
