Alcuin is perhaps best known for the en-suite bathrooms that come as standard with every room and the general quality of the rooms, most of which were recently built. Alcuin has recently undergone a phase of new construction, amid controversy (K and '''L''' blocks were not complete by the time students were due to move in, leaving many to live in the nearby National Science Learning Centre accommodation blocks, which lacked many facilites - particularly kitchens). Alcuin is generally considered to be the "posh" part of the university, rivalled perhaps by cookers and lifts in the new L-Q Alcuin blocks. It possesses a bar, B Henry's, and café, Café Barista, 2 quads of accommodation blocks, and its own off-campus accommodation, Holgate's Hall . There are also several teaching blocks (East Wing and the Seebohm Rowntree building) and is home of many departments (such as Economics , Chemistry and Computer Science ) and the University library. Following Vanbrugh B and C block's conversion to offices, the uprooted residents moved to the newly made P and Q blocks (which were built on time) and dubbed themselves as Valcuin members. In addition to P and Q blocks, a new JCR building was built, and an extra wash station (to try and add to the four washing machines for the whole of Alcuin). The JCR and washroom are expected to open late February. Like other York colleges, Alcuin has its own JCRC , currently chaired by Tom Stratton. Like all the colleges of the University Of York , it is Eponymous , named after Alcuin Of York . EXTERNAL LINKS |
