Madingley Hall opens the door to new facilities

Madingley Hall, home to the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Continuing Education, welcomed Professor John Rallison, the University’s Pro-Vice Chancellor for Education, to cut the ribbon and declare the Courtyard Suite officially open this week.

The Courtyard Suite offers a large teaching and meeting area, with space for up to 70 people in the main room, and 30 in the smaller syndicate room. All areas have full disabled access, state-of-the-art AV facilities including projection and filming capability and free wi-fi. The building was formerly the Coach House to the Hall, and dates back to the mid-18th century.

Dr Rebecca Lingwood, Director of Continuing Education at the Institute, said: “It is exciting to see the transformation into flexible, fully-equipped teaching space. It is a really valuable addition to the facilities at Madingley that I know our students will appreciate hugely.”
