Annual Review
2010/11
In addition to the spending on the
Acland project, the College has
continued with its major programme
of renovations to the grade1 listed
Victorian buildings. 2010/11 saw the
completion of works to the Warden’s
Lodgings: in 2011/12 we shall be
refurbishing the student rooms and
associated corridors on the north side
of Liddon Quad. Two other capital
projects were also completed: the
installation of a new pipe organ in
the Chapel, and improvements to the
sports ground in preparation for its
shared use by Keble and St Hugh’s
Colleges from October 2011.
In all, the College spent £3.1m on
capital projects in 2010/11, of which
£1.9m was funded by donations.
That level spending was exceptional:
over the next few years (leaving aside
the Acland project) we expect to
spend a maximum of £1m annually
on capital improvements as we
complete the remaining phases of the
Victorian renovations.
The impact of the new funding regime
(for undergraduates starting in 2012)
is difficult to judge. On the one hand it
seems likely that the direct impact on
the College finances will be limited:
higher fee income being balanced by
lower government funding and higher
contributions to student support.
But on the other the University and
hence the colleges are faced by huge
financial pressures which will not be
resolved by the changes.
