The Study Space Project
Our aim is to build and furnish an annex at the back of the main social building which will provide four rooms. Either directly, or by reconfiguring existing space, this will provide at least two large areas for a new library and study space. This will enable us to double the number of books we hold and create comfortable and quiet space for academic study. It will also create new office space to enhance student support and common room activity.
The Study Space Project has been supported by generous donations from the University, the Junior Common Room, Middle Common Room, Senior Common Room and the College Trust. The Project needs to raise a further £25,000 by Summer 2017 to allow the annex to open in September 2017 as the culmination of our 10th Anniversary. Its development is being overseen by the College Trust and College Council.
If you would like to help us reah our targets we would be extremely grateful. Any donation, no matter how big or small, will be thankfully received ad we will keep all donors informed about the development of the new build. You can donate online, by telephone on 0191 334 7260, or by cheque to ‘Durham University’ sent to Josephine Butler College, South Road, Durham, DH1 3DF.
