Crausaz Wordsworth Building, Robinson College

Crausaz Wordsworth Building at Robinson College offers a purpose-designed setting for conferences, meetings, training days, networking events, private dinners and drinks receptions in Cambridge. Located within the college grounds and surrounded by attractive gardens, the building combines a distinctive university atmosphere with practical facilities for professional organisers.

The main Plenary Room accommodates up to 125 delegates in theatre-style seating or up to 170 guests standing. Its flexible layout makes it suitable for plenary sessions, lectures, exhibitions, poster presentations, dining and presentations. Three adjoining syndicate rooms provide dedicated breakout space for smaller workshops, discussion groups and parallel sessions, while movable partitions allow the rooms to be combined for larger formats.

A bright foyer beside the Plenary Room provides space for registration, refreshments, networking, display screens and standing lunches. The venue has built-in projection, sound, microphones, hearing assistance and high-definition presentation equipment, with in-house audio-visual support available throughout events. Organisers can also request additional technical services such as streaming, recording, video conferencing and private network facilities.

The building may be booked exclusively for one client or used alongside Robinson College’s wider conference facilities. These include further meeting rooms, auditoria, dining spaces, gardens, terraces and seasonal residential accommodation. The college’s conference team, chefs and front-of-house staff support the planning and delivery of each booking, with catering available for private dining, receptions, lunches and conference breaks. The venue is well suited to academic, corporate and association events requiring an adaptable programme, professional service and the convenience of meeting, dining and accommodation in one Cambridge location.
