Like others in Cambridgeshire, the college was intended to provide educational, cultural and recreational facilities for the local community, as well as to function as a secondary school. Although the billiard table does not conform to the modern aesthetic of the building, designed by Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry, and opened in 1939, it was installed at the time of the college's opening, according to David Rooney, Henry Morris (2013), p.48. Photographed through the window.

Designed by Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry in 1938 and opened in 1939. The recessed doors in the centre of the photo give access to the concourse, with the warden's office to the left and staff room the right; the clerestory of the concourse lies beyond. The classroom wing is on the right. The curved stair tower on the left was not part of the original plan.

Designed by Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry in 1938 and opened in 1939. This wing contained facilities for adult education and leisure; the section on the extreme right contained a library for the use of both students and adults. The hall block can be seen in the background on the left.

Comparison with an early view reveals some alterations, most notably the infilling of the covered way which originally connected the rooms in this wing: www.harvardartmuseums.org/art/52323 .
