The New Fellows' Dining Room
The new Fellow's Dining Room was created out of space that used to be the College Library, following its relocation to the University Library which was recently acquired by the College. The new design for the room makes reference to this by picking up on detail from the Temple of Apollo at Bassae used by C.R. Cockrell at the University Library.
The design follows Cockerell's important discovery that
Greek temples and buildings were often highly decorated
with polychromatic designs, and includes a large and
complex painted ceiling along with painted and gilded
column capitals.
