Architects and Design Packages
Officially opened in 1962 (although with heritage dating back to the 19th Century), St Catherine’s, or ‘Catz’ as it is fondly known, is the youngest mixed College in Oxford.
Designed by Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, the original buildings and gardens showcase his unique modernist take on college design. A revelation at the time of its construction, St Catherine’s has now become an icon of Modernist design. Needless to say, we are extremely proud of our distinctive style and heritage.
We welcome guests interested in our architectural history of the site as well as those discovering Jacobsen’s designs for the first time, and we offer a distinctive and original Oxford College experience. If you are an architect or design enthusiast, please contact us to discuss what we can offer.
Example packages:
- Guided group tour of St Catz followed by lunch
- Guided group tour of St Catz followed by a 3 course served dinner or banquet
- Guided group tour of St Catz followed by 3 course served dinner or banquet, plus accommodation in an original Jacobson bedroom
- Company away day or meeting to include tours and lunch in the dining Hall
Please do get in contact with your enquiry and we will be happy to send you a personalised tailored made package.

"A big thank you to the team at St Catz who were extremely helpful from the moment we arrived and we were very well looked after. We have had very good feedback for our event [and] also... the layout of the lecture theatre and associated rooms worked extremely well for us. Our compliments also to the Chef as the food was excellent."
