2020 Campaign

Vision for 2020 – Ideas without boundaries

To mark its 150th anniversary in 2020 Keble is planning the most radical college development in recent Oxford history. The core of the Campaign is to develop Oxford's first Advanced Studies Centre - a creative hub for ideas without boundaries. We will bring together world class thinkers, star young researchers, and the brightest graduate students in an environment that stimulates interaction across disciplines and enables collaborative research to flourish.

Keble academics are already doing fascinating work in creativity, networks and imaging - this is only the beginning. We have acquired a 1.7 hectare site in the new heart of the University, strategically located between the established Science Area and the planned new University Humanities Quarter. This will be the home of The Advanced Studies Centre. 

Although still in pre-launch phase, fundraising for Keble’s Vision for 2020 including the redevelopment of the Acland site and the establishment of an Advanced Studies Centre, has already attracted substantial support. The fund total now stands at £8.66 million, click here to view the progress so far.
