“Whitelands College is one of the oldest higher education institutions in England”
The project involves the adaptation and extension of a Grade 1 listed, William Chambers, mansion to provide academic facilities for the university together with the construction of new halls of residence, set within an 18th century landscape.
Whitelands College is one of the oldest higher education institutions in England, predating every university except Oxford, Cambridge, London and Durham. The Church of England’s National Society founded the College in 1841 as a teacher training college for women. It took its name from Whitelands House, a Georgian building in the King's Road, Chelsea, previously used as a school.
