'''St Catherine's College''' (colloquially called '''St Catz''' or '''Catz''') is one of the [[Colleges of the University of Oxford|constituent colleges]] of the [[University of Oxford]].<ref name="ox coll list">{{Cite web |title=Undergraduate− Colleges− St Catherine's College: About the college |url=https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/colleges/college-listing/st-catherines-college |access-date=1 November 2022 |website=University of Oxford}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/about-us/ |title=St Catherine's College Oxford: About Us |website=St Catherine's College|language=en-US|access-date=30 July 2019}}</ref> In 1974, it was also one of the first men's colleges to admit women.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Women Making History |url=http://www.ox.ac.uk/about/oxford-people/women-at-oxford |access-date=2 July 2020 |website=University of Oxford}}</ref> It has 528 undergraduate students, 385 graduate students and 37 visiting students as of December 2020, making it one of the largest colleges in either Oxford or [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]].<ref name="ox.ac.uk"/>

Designed by [[Danes|Danish]] architect [[Arne Jacobsen]], the college was built in an egalitarian architectural style that maximises the number of rooms for academically qualified students who lack the financial resources to study at Oxford. In September 2023, access to areas of the college was restricted due to safety concerns around the use of [[reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete]] (RAAC).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-08 |title=University College restricts access in response to RAAC |url=https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/23778356.oxford-university-college-restricts-access-due-raac/ |access-date=2023-09-09 |website=Oxford Mail |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Zaleski |first=Alexandra |date=2023-09-08 |title=RAAC at St Catherine's College |url=https://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/raac-at-st-catherines-college/ |access-date=2023-09-09 |website=St Catherine's College |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-08 |title=St Catz buildings closed due to RAAC concerns |url=https://www.oxfordstudent.com/2023/09/08/st-catz-buildings-closed-due-to-raac/ |access-date=2023-09-12 |website=The Oxford Student |language=en-GB}}</ref>

The college developed out of the university's St Catherine's Society; it was granted full status as a college in 1962 by the historian [[Alan Bullock]], who became the first master of the college, and later vice-chancellor of the university.

==History==

St Catherine's College, Oxford traces its origins to 1868. In its first iteration, it was established as a delegacy for {{lang|la|Scholares nulli Collegio vel Aulae ascripti}} ('Scholars enrolled in no college or hall'), by university statute on 11 June 1868.<ref>{{cite book|page=754 |trans-title=To be appended to the Oxford University statutes, or: A complete collation of the academic constitutions|title=Addenda ad Corpus statutorum Universitatis Oxoniensis, sive: Pandectes constitutionum academicarum|id=[<small>NOTE:</small> "The pagination follows that of the Corpus of 1768 and is continued by periodic additions"] |chapter=Stat.

The delegacy appointed two of its [[stipend]]iaries, [[George Kitchin]] and George S. Ward, to be known as "Censors", to oversee the education and welfare of the students.<ref>Trotman, R.R. & Garrett, E.J.K.

In its first days, a room in the university's Old Clarendon Building was allocated for the operations of the delegacy, and with gifts of books from several donors, a library for the unattached students was installed there. These accommodations soon proved inadequate and in 1888, the delegacy was moved to a building in High Street next to the [[Examination Schools]]. Here the non-collegiate students, as they were known after 1884, had a library in its own dedicated space and two lecture halls. There was an administration office and rooms for the Censors and tutors. Designed by [[Thomas Graham Jackson|T. G. Jackson]], this building is now the [[Ruskin School of Art]]. In 1936, the delegacy moved again, from its outgrown High Street premises to the limestone buildings on St Aldates, south of [[Christ Church, Oxford]] which are now part of the Oxford University's Faculty of Music.<ref name="Hibbert college"/>

By 1956, the society had developed many of the characteristics of an Oxford college and the delegates decided to formalise this change in status by obtaining approval to turn it into a fully residential college within the University of Oxford.<ref name="brief">{{cite web|url=http://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/the_college_pages/brief_college_history.htm |title=	Brief College History: History and buildings; The Delegacy; St Catharine's Club; St Catherine's Society |access-date=13 May 2007 |website=St. Catherine's College, Oxford |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061109231241/http://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/the_college_pages/brief_college_history.htm |archive-date=9 November 2006|quote=The club that became St. Catherine's Society took its name from its original meeting place, St Catharine's Hall, a house in Broad Street now forming part of Hertford College.

In keeping with its complete history, including its earliest incarnation, the college celebrated its 150th anniversary in the academic year 2018–2019, coinciding with the 2018 Ball 'Continuum'.

===College name===
In 1931, the delegacy officially acquired the name, "St Catherine's Society", with the current spelling. Variations of ''St Catharine'' having been used by the students for their sporting teams and various clubs since the 1870s, the name was already strongly associated with the delegacy. First forming a social club in April 1869, the students called it the "Clarendon University Club", taking that name from the Old Clarendon Building where the delegacy had been allocated a room. The students soon expanded their organised activities. By 1874 they began a more comprehensive association, which they called the St {{sic|Catharine's}} Club, after its headquarters, the hall where they dined and held meetings.<ref name="Hibbert college">{{cite encyclopedia|author-link= Christopher Hibbert |last1=Hibbert |first1=Christopher |encyclopedia=The Encyclopaedia of Oxford |date=1988 |publisher=Macmillan |location=London |isbn=978-0-333-39917-0 |pages=379−382 |url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopaediaofo0000hibb/page/380/mode/2up |title=St Catherine's College}}</ref> St Catharine's Hall had long been associated with the saint, having been built {{circa|1520}} as a chapel, popularly called St Catherine's Chapel, (though officially "Chapel of Our Lady at Smith Gate").<ref>{{cite web |title=Official list entry 1369642: Hertford College, Chapel of Mary at Smith's Gate |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1369642?section=official-list-entry |website= Historic England |language=en}}; {{cite web |title=Hertford College, Chapel of Mary at Smith's Gate |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1369642 |website=Historic England |language=en |quote=Non-Civil Parish - 1369642}}</ref><ref name="ox encyc">{{cite encyclopedia |editor1-last=Salter |editor1-first=H E |editor2-last=Lobel |editor2-first=Mary D |via=British History Online |title=St. Catherine's Society |date=1954 |location=London |publisher=Victoria County History |pages=338–339 |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/oxon/vol3/pp338-339 |access-date=14 March 2023 |encyclopedia=A History of the County of Oxford |volume=3: The University of Oxford|editor1-link=Herbert Edward Salter|editor2-link=Mary Lobel}}</ref> Although deconsecrated, the 16th-century appellation of "St Catharine's" remained attached to the site throughout its later history.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Smith Gate and its Chapel |url=http://www.oxfordhistory.org.uk/city_wall/04_smith_gate.html |website=Oxford History: Oxford City Wall |access-date=16 March 2023 |author1=Stephanie Jenkins}}</ref> The building's address at the time of the Club's tenancy was 29 [[Broad Street, Oxford|Broad Street]]; it fronted, though, onto [[Catte Street]], also known as Catherine Street from some point in the late 19th century until 1930—and first recorded as Kattestreete {{circa|1210}}, ''Catte'' in 1402, ''Cate'' or ''Kate'' in the 17th century, and ''Cat'' or ''Catte'' again in the 1800s, the street's name enhancing the association with ''Catherine''.<ref name="Hibbert catte">{{cite encyclopedia|author-link= Christopher Hibbert |last1=Hibbert |first1=Christopher |encyclopedia=The Encyclopaedia of Oxford |date=1988 |publisher=Macmillan |location=London |isbn=978-0-333-39917-0 |page=72 |url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopaediaofo0000hibb/page/72/mode/2up |title=Catte Street}}</ref>

In this way, the college became indirectly associated with the saint, [[Catherine of Alexandria]]. Despite the initially accidental relationship, St Catherine is celebrated as the college's patron saint "with a special Catz Night dinner{{nbsp}}... at the end of which a giant Catherine wheel is lit in the quad".<ref name="brief"/> Other elements of this can be seen in the college [[blazon]], which depicts four [[Breaking wheel|Catherine wheels]], one of St Catherine's attributes. While religious iconography can also be seen today in some of the college's symbols, the college's origins were largely secular.<ref>{{cite web|author1=Stephanie Jenkins |url=http://www.oxfordhistory.org.uk/broad/buildings/east/hertford/29.html |title=Broad Street, Oxford: No. 29 — Former Octagonal Chapel|website=Oxford History: Broad Street |access-date=19 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | website=Oxford History: The High |url=http://www.oxfordhistory.org.uk/high/tour/north/catte.html |date=8 September 2021|author1=Stephanie Jenkins |title=Catte Street, Oxford }}</ref>

==Buildings==
===Original buildings===
[[File:Catz Hall.jpg|thumb|right|Jacobsen's bespoke furniture and lighting in the Hall]]
The college is located to the east of central Oxford, on the banks of the [[River Cherwell]]. Its buildings in glass, brick, and concrete, by the Danish architect [[Arne Jacobsen]], marry modern materials with a traditional Oxford college layout centred on a [[Quadrangle (architecture)|quadrangle]]. Jacobsen designed everything, including the furniture, cutlery, lampshades, and the college gardens, down to the choice of fish species for the pond.

The original St Catherine's buildings are recognised as one of the world's most distinguished examples of modernist design, described by architectural historian [[Nikolaus Pevsner]] as "a perfect piece of architecture",<ref>{{cite book |last=Pevsner |first=Nikolaus |author-link=Nikolaus Pevsner |date=1974 |title=The Buildings of England: Oxfordshire |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=F2QwMeMZO5wC&q=pevsner.+buildings+of+england+oxford |location=New Haven (USA) |publisher=Yale University Press |page=240 |isbn=0300096399}}</ref> and said to have been the architect's personal favourite among his own works. Jacobsen's designs for the college have been the subject of various art and design exhibitions.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.modernartoxford.org.uk/event/exhibition-8/ |title=How to be Modern: Arne Jacobsen in the 21st Century |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=20 April 2002 |website=ModernArtOxford.org.uk |publisher=Modern Art Oxford |access-date=13 August 2021 |quote=This exhibition celebrated Jacobsen's enduring importance as one of the most significant architects and designers of the 20th century, including his designs for St Catherine's College, Oxford.}}</ref> The original college buildings received a [[listed building|Grade I listing]] in 1993.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1229934&resourceID=5 |title=Listed Buildings Online – St Catherines College, Podium And All Buildings Upon It |access-date=16 September 2008 |work=Heritage Gateway}}</ref> In 2020, the college gardens, also designed by Jacobsen, were upgraded to the highest level of protection by [[Historic England]] for historical and design interest.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1001388 |title=Landscape at St Catherine's College |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=18 August 2020 |website=HistoricEngland.org.uk |publisher= Historic England |access-date=13 August 2021 |quote=The designed landscape at St Catherine's College, Oxford, designed by Arne Jacobsen, and laid out in the mid-1960s, is included on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Historic Interest at Grade I}}</ref>

Jacobsen's plans for the college did not include a chapel, which is unusual among Oxford colleges: [[St Cross Church, Oxford|St Cross Church]] on the corner of [[Manor Road, Oxford|Manor Road]] and [[Longwall Street]] served this purpose before its decommission in 2008. The St Catherine's Christmas carol concert is now held in [[Harris Manchester College]]'s chapel. The college has a bell tower, particularly visible since no college building is more than three storeys high. An extra floor was reputedly planned for most accommodation blocks, but due to regulations concerning safe building on marshland, this was removed from the final design. The entrance to the college by the water garden was remodelled by Sir Philip Howell in 1968.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=St Catherine's College|url=https://90years.buildingcentre.co.uk/building/st-catherines-college/|access-date=24 December 2021 |website=Building Centre|language=en-US}}</ref>
[[File:St Catherine's College, Oxford - geograph.org.uk - 1289366.jpg|thumb|left|Accommodation]]
St Catherine's has a number of lecture theatres and seminar rooms, a music house, two student computer rooms, a small gym, squash courts, a punt house, a [[Listed building|Grade I listed]] [[St Catherine's College Bicycle Store|bike shed]]<ref>{{NHLE|num=1229973|desc=St Catherine's College Bicycle Store|grade=I|access-date=3 December 2023}}</ref> and among the most spacious common rooms in Oxford. There are also additional purpose-built conference facilities with lecture theatres, meeting rooms and bar, music room, and car parking available for non-students. The dining hall, which seats 350 diners, has the largest capacity of any Oxford college.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/college/buildings-and-grounds|title=Buildings and Grounds – www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk|publisher=University of Oxford|access-date=3 April 2018}}</ref>

St Catherine's also has a library with over 55,000 volumes, which is used mainly by undergraduates in all the disciplines taught at the college, as well as 14 computer terminals.<ref name="Library & IT">{{Cite web|title=Library & IT|url=https://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/catz-students/library-it/|access-date=3 June 2020 |website=St Catherine's College|language=en-US}}</ref> Law students have additional resources located in the college law library, which is in the Bernard Sunley building.<ref name="Library & IT"/> Most tutorials are carried out in college, though some undergraduates may be sent to other colleges.

The majority of St Catherine's buildings are in the form of staircases{{efn|In the tradition of the colleges of Oxbridge and other UK universities, a ''staircase'' is a set of students' rooms, with a ground-floor entrance to a quadrangle.}} that open directly onto the quad(s) outside; these are filled with student rooms and office space. There is little indoor space in the college and St Catherine's favours a minimalist, rather austere environment, though still comfortable. Student rooms are light and spacious, notable for their curtain wall glazing.<ref name=":0"/> The Built Environment Trust, and its public face [[The Building Centre]], in 2021 named the college's buildings as among the 90 most influential UK buildings or public spaces from the last 90 years.<ref name=":0"/>

===RAAC concrete===

In September 2023 following [[2023 United Kingdom reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete crisis|reviews]] of the college site for [[reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete]] (RAAC) it was discovered a number of buildings contained RAAC. This has prompted the temporary closure of many of the communal spaces such as the JCR, Hall, kitchens and library.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/raac-at-st-catherines-college/ | title=RAAC at St Catherine's College | date=8 September 2023 }}</ref>

==Student life==
St Catherine's has one of the largest undergraduate and graduate intakes among Oxford colleges, admitting 215 graduate students in the 2018–2019 academic year.<ref name="StC key facts"/> There is a college bar, as well as a [[Junior Common Room]] (JCR) and a [[Middle Common Room]] (MCR), which was relocated to the Ainsworth Graduate Centre in 2020 (it was previously located in the Bernard Sunley building).{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

The JCR is run by a committee of 25 undergraduate students, led by the President and elected by the rest of the student body through 'hustings', or a general Q&A (question and answer) session. The committee fulfills a wide range of duties, aimed at organising events, such as [[Freshers' week]], and providing support to the students. Open meetings are held fortnightly, during which people discuss how to improve the JCR. All undergraduate members are automatically members of the JCR, unless they expressly state that they wish not to be. Honorary membership is also rarely extended to others, with one awarded every five years: honorary members include [[Robbie Williams]] and [[Bradley Walsh]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Freshers' Guides 2018 |url=https://jcr.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/info/freshers-guides/|access-date=4 June 2020 |archive-date=4 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200604043248/https://jcr.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/info/freshers-guides/|website=St Catz JCR|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{citation|author=((The JCR Committee))|title=St Catherine's College Freshers' Guide 2018|pages=8−20 |date=2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200604043315/https://jcr.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Freshers-Guide-2018-ilovepdf-compressed-ilovepdf-compressed.compressed.pdf|url=https://jcr.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Freshers-Guide-2018-ilovepdf-compressed-ilovepdf-compressed.compressed.pdf| archive-date=4 June 2020|publisher=St. Catherine's College Junior Common Room}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Griffith|first=Rachael|date=30 October 2015 |title=Catz JCR make Chris Tarrant honorary member|url=https://cherwell.org/2015/10/30/catz-jcr-make-chris-tarrant-honorary-member/|access-date=6 June 2020|website=Cherwell|language=en-GB}}</ref> The Catz JCR is financially independent from the College, following a financial committee meeting.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Darrah|first=Kim|date=2015-06-07|title=St. Catz grant JCR financial independence|url=https://cherwell.org/2015/06/07/st-catz-grant-jcr-financial-independence/|access-date=6 June 2020|website=Cherwell|language=en-GB}}</ref> Similarly, the MCR is composed of graduate students, visiting postgraduate students, fourth-year undergraduate students and mature (over the age of 21) full-time undergraduate students, who also have JCR membership. It is run by a committee led by two co-presidents, which organises several events such as an annual garden party. The MCR also has benefits, such as a separate kitchen and the exclusive use of an enclosed garden.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Catz MCR – The community of graduates at St. Catherine's College, Oxford|url=https://mcr.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/|access-date=4 June 2020 |website=MCR St Catz |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>''St Catherine's College MCR Handbook 2015,'' section 3.</ref>

The college celebrates its patron saint each year with a special Catz Night dinner, attended by junior and senior members of the college. Every three years the college also holds a ball, usually off-site due to the problem of securing the college's perimeter sufficiently for insurance purposes. St Catherine's is also known for its more modern approaches, such as by not usually requiring students to wear gowns for dinners and voting to end the tradition of standing when the Master enters the hall at formal dinner,<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2019/01/24/oxford-college-abandons-tradition-standing-address-master-formal/|title=Oxford College abandons tradition of standing to address dons at formal dinners|last1=Turner|first1=Camilla|date=24 January 2019|work=The Telegraph|access-date=30 July 2019 |last2=Ritchie|first2=Greg|language=en-GB|issn=0307-1235}}</ref> although most students still continue in this practice out of respect. The College also holds fortnightly social events called 'Entz', which are usually themed and hosted in the JCR and bar, and an annual Catz Artz Week which showcases creative talents.<ref name="apply.oxfordsu">{{Cite web |title=St Catherine's College - Oxford SU's Target Schools Alternative Prospectus |url=http://apply.oxfordsu.org/colleges/st-catz/|access-date=3 June 2020 |website=Apply [[Oxford SU]] |language=en}}</ref>

The college also has several sport, music and other facilities available on the college site, including squash courts, pool tables, a free gymnasium, a punt house, and theatres.<ref name="StC key facts"/> The music house on site is equipped with a grand piano and harpsichord. There are also several clubs and societies available, such as the music society, orchestras, choirs, and subject societies.<ref name="ox coll list"/> The dramatic society often performs plays and musicals, including recent adaptations of [[Rent (musical)|Rent]] and [[Chicago (musical)|Chicago]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Howe|first=Abigail|date=26 February 2020 |title=Preview: RENT|url=https://cherwell.org/2020/02/26/preview-rent-2/|access-date=6 June 2020|website=Cherwell|language=en-GB}}</ref> St Catz has a friendly [[college rivalry]] with [[Magdalen College, Oxford|Magdalen]], expressed in sports and in a joke JCR 'declaration of war' in 2013.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Dorrell|first=Phil|date=14 February 2013 |title=St Catz declare war on Magdalen|url=https://www.oxfordstudent.com/2013/02/14/st-catz-declare-war-on-magdalen/|access-date=6 June 2020|website=The Oxford Student|language=en-GB}}</ref>

=== Accommodation ===
The college is able to offer three-year accommodation for students, with all first years on site.<ref name="ox coll list"/> Most first and third years live in the Jacobsen-designed 'Old Quad', the original buildings, while the second years live in the 'New Quad', built during the 1995–2005 extensions. There is a kitchen in every corridor, generally shared between eight to ten people. Bathrooms containing four showers and two toilets are shared between groups of ten people in the Old Quad, while every bedroom in the New Quad is en-suite. Rooms are allocated randomly for first year students, while groups of four to six students in second- and third-year ballot together for rooms. All rooms cost the same in rent.<ref name="apply.oxfordsu"/>
