The Open Guide to Cambridge

Robinson college is the newest college of University of Cambridge, and comprises around 400 undergraduates, 100 graduates, and 70 fellows. The principal college buildings, known as "the car park", are of a stark and uncompromising brick construction. They incorporate many ramps and staircases, which gives the buildings a vaguely defensive aesthetic. The college also includes a number of late-Victorian houses. Generously endowed by David Robinson, who made a fortune renting televisions, the college's facilities, size, and reputation, are largely unremarkable.
