From Wolfson Court it is an easy walk to the University Library and the Sidgwick Site, where most arts lectures are held, and only a short cycle ride to the Downing Site and the West Cambridge Site for the scientists. The newly built Centre for Mathematical Sciences is next door. Wolfson Court’s facilities are available to all members of the College and are widely used at all times.
Wolfson Court was originally built to accommodate just over 100 students. A new block housing 32 graduates has recently been completed. Unlike the hostels which many other Colleges have, the buildings also include a very popular cafeteria, a library and study area, the College Law Library, a computer room, a TV room, a small but well-stocked bar, a newspaper lounge, a laundry, supervision rooms, party rooms and food and drinks machines. The series of courtyards provide attractive spots in which to work, eat or relax in when the weather is good.

In 1866 Miss Emily Davies and others interested in the higher education of women initiated a scheme for founding by public subscription a College for women designed to hold, in relation to girls’ schools and home teaching, a position analogous to that occupied by the Universities towards the public schools for boys. On 16 October 1869, the College was opened at Benslow House, Hitchin, under the name of the College for Women. In 1872 the present site was purchased, and the College was renamed Girton College: the removal to the new buildings took place in October 1873.
For reasons of Victorian respectability, the College was located two miles north of the town centre to discourage marauding male undergraduates! It was originally seen as a Victorian country house, and the large size of the grounds relative to the other Colleges has allowed plenty of room for expansion since.
Men have been Fellows since 1977, and male undergraduates have been admitted since 1979. The equal balance between the numbers of men and women in both Fellowship and students is matched by no other College.
"I just wanted to thank you and all the staff at Wolfson Court for looking after us so well during our conference last week. Everything went very smoothly from my point of view and the delegates appreciated the helpfulness of all the staff and your excellent facilities. I hope we will come back!! "
Ros Clarke, Tyndale Fellowship
