Cambridge Judge Business School OUR VISION FOR THE SITE EXPANSION PROJECT We are a collaborative community, currently without a shared experience of the working and learning environment. The proposed expansion project will provide a collaborative and interactive environment that we very much need in order to embark on the next 25 years of our journey, enabling our aspiration to be one of the world’s best business schools. History of the site The unique building housing the School is a refurbishment and extension of the old Addenbrooke’s Hospital, first established on this site in 1766. Expansion of the original Georgian building took place in 1824 and 1834, followed by a major reconstruction project in 1866 by Matthew Digby Wyatt. Further extensions to the hospital in 1915 and 1930 added the top floor, and expansion continued until 1961 when the hospital began relocating to a bigger site in the south of the city. It was not until 1984 that the last remaining patients were moved. The old hospital stood empty for almost a decade, its ‘listed’ status preventing its demolition, until generous benefactions by Sir Paul and Lady Judge in 1991 enabled its conversion by the University of Cambridge into the home of Cambridge Judge Business School, then known as the Judge Institute of Management. The architect John Outram was appointed to the project and The original Georgian hospital c.1770 The expanded hospital c. 1840 converted the old listed ward blocks and arcades and rebuilt the central block into what is now the Business Information Centre, Common Room, seminar rooms, teaching rooms and the main hall of the School. He added three new areas: • The Ark, containing offices for faculty and research staff; • The Castle, housing the two main lecture theatres; • The Gallery, an eighty foot high space comprising floating staircases and balconies that encourage collaboration and interaction, as envisioned by Sir Paul Judge. The project was completed in August 1995, and the School was officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II the following year.

CJBS currently occupies the Grade II listed Old Addenbrooke’s Hospital building, including the much loved 1990’s additions by John Outram Associates – the Gallery, the Castle and the Ark – and the curtilage listed Keynes House. The site is bounded by the key roads of Trumpington Street and Tennis Court Road. These historic roads have strong characteristics which will inform the architecture of any future development. Trumpington Street is characterised by its grand buildings and forecourt spaces, which create a generous sense of scale. The forecourt to the current CJBS building opens onto Trumpington Street and sits opposite the open space of the Fitzwilliam Museum. Tennis Court Road is much tighter in scale and is largely defined by boundary buildings and a series of listed walls. In places, there are views into and from the grounds of Downing College and the established trees within the grounds form a prominent feature of the road. Whilst parts of the road are attractive and have almost the character of a country lane, immediately behind the CJBS building the service yard and the narrowness of the pavements have a negative impact on the space. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
