Our Projects

Pembroke College's Mill Lane site has undergone significant redevelopment over multiple phases.

Phase 1 included the redevelopment of selected buildings to the east side of Mill Lane site. 4 Mill Lane provides teaching accommodation and associated ancillary spaces. First floor level provides a link to the adjacent Kenmare House. 6 Mill Lane provides kitchen and café / servery area offering a coffee shop style service. The remaining spaces are group and teaching use including a small basement screening room.

The former URC and School house provides lecture and presentation facilities for large groups as well as performing arts use. The former URC is a converted church with almost all other elements being new build construction.

Phase 2 encompassed the construction of Dolby Court and associated external landscaping within the courtyard.

Dolby Court itself consists of 4 areas as follows, 

• North Block - a 4 storey new building located largely on the footprint of the existing Mill Lane Lecture block
• West Block - a 4 storey new building located adjacent to the University Centre
• Miller’s Yard - a refurbished existing building with additional new storey
• South Block - a 3 storey townhouse to the Southern side of the new Dolby Court

The project had a high level of environmental aspiration. This is reflected in the architectural proposals which cover the high levels of thermal insulation, low air tightness, attention to thermal bridging and passive design principles embedded into the façade design and structural approach.

Munro are proud to have supported Cocksedge Building Contractors with this complex phased development.
