The Time and The Place: A Campaign for Pembroke
Pembroke is embarking upon the most significant expansion of the College since our foundation.
The Time and the Place campaign is our effort to raise a minimum of £90 million in order to realise the vision for an enhanced Pembroke scholarly community on the south side of Mill Lane, right by the medieval site. Above all, it is about our shared goal to create the best possible environment to attract the best minds here and nurture their excellence so that they can go out and change the world.
Support Our Campaign
Every gift matters, and the College is grateful. It is possible to give tax-efficiently from a number of countries or to get involved with this transformational project in numerous other ways. This page illustrates how.
The Campaign
The Dolby family have offered Pembroke an extraordinary opportunity and our campaign aims to seize this moment: this is the place, and now is the time.
The Mill Lane Project
The redevelopment of the Mill Lane site will meet a long-held objective that the scholarly environment of Pembroke should be able to meet its academic ambition.
