Senate House (University of Cambridge)
The Senate House of the University of Cambridge is now used mainly for degree ceremonies. It was formerly also used for meetings of the Council of the Senate.
==Location and construction==
The building, which is situated in the centre of the city between King's and Gonville and Caius Colleges, was designed by architect James Gibbs, based to an unclear extent on designs by the gentleman-architect Sir James Burrough,〔Howard Colvin, ''A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects, 1600 - 1850'', 3rd ed. 1995, ''s.v.'' "Burrough, Sir James".〕 and built in 1722–1730 by Gibbs in a neo-classical style using Portland stone. The ceremony to lay the first stone was performed by Thomas Crosse, then Vice-Chancellor, on June 22, 1722.〔Cooper, Charles Henry (1866) "Memorials of Cambridge (Volume 3)", Cambridge: Wm Metcalfe.〕 The site was previously used for houses, which were purchased by an Act of Parliament, dated June 11, 1720. It was officially opened in July 1730, although the western end was not completed until 1768.
The Senate House was originally intended to be one side of a quadrangle, however the rest of the structure was never completed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Images of Senate House, Cambridge, by James Gibbs )〕 It forms part of the Old Schools Site. It is a Grade I listed building. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= Name: THE SENATE HOUSE List entry Number: 1322818 ) 〕
