From the Provost<br />
Maintaining the <strong>College</strong>’s wonderful buildings is, of course, a continuous task. With<br />
the project to refurbish bathrooms in the Front Quad successfully completed, the<br />
next stage of the “masterplan” to improve the <strong>College</strong>’s fabric over the next few years<br />
began. Towards the end of the year staff moved out of offices in Front Quad so that<br />
work could start on a new Porters’ Lodge and smart and welcoming accessible<br />
entrance from the High Street. <strong>The</strong>se improvements (replacing what is essentially a<br />
“lean-to” as the current Lodge) will retain the current entrance and its iconic view of<br />
the Quad, the Chapel and Hall, as you enter up the steps.<br />
Finally, and returning to the delights of in-person activity and <strong>College</strong> as a thriving<br />
place for enquiry and debate across disciplines and generations, open to people<br />
and ideas from around the world, the award-winning chef and entrepreneur Dr Asma<br />
Khan was elected as the latest Honorary Fellow, the arrangements to announce the<br />
first Queen’s PPE Centenary Visiting Professor were finalised, and the <strong>College</strong> looked<br />
forward – among other things – to welcoming back Old Member and inventor of the<br />
World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, for the <strong>2022</strong> Provost’s Lecture in the autumn.<br />
