The Westfield House Campus
Westfield House was originally built originally in the mid-19th century, in the “west field” of Cambridge, and served as a doctor’s surgery long after the city grew out around it. The purchase of the house for the purposes of a college was arranged by the first Preceptor, the Revd Norman Nagel, who at the time was the pastor of Luther-Tyndale Memorial Church, a Lutheran congregation in Kentish Town, London. The House was inaugurated as a Lutheran college February 1962 and established a relationship with Fitzwilliam College, as an attached house shortly thereafter.
The original House is now home to the offices of Westfield faculty and staff, a studio apartment for visiting scholars, three classrooms (including the Norman Nagel Room), kitchen facilities, and library and study spaces (including the old Library, the Glenn Zweck Memorial Room, and a library Annex).
There are two main halls of residence on the campus, Luther Hall and the Valparaiso Centre, a two-bedroom house (Benson House) and one additional furnished studio apartment flat (“Flat 8”).
