Derwent College, Grade II listed college building in Heslington, England
Derwent College contains twelve accommodation blocks labeled A through P, featuring prefabricated concrete designs and modern architectural elements within the University of York campus.
The college opened its doors on October 22, 1965, when Queen Elizabeth II inaugurated one of the first two colleges established during the University of York's creation.
The Norman Rea Gallery within Derwent College functions as the only student-managed art gallery across British universities, promoting student artistic expression.
Students access various facilities including computer services, dining areas, snack bars, and academic department resources for Politics, Education, and English Literature studies.
The college expanded in 2012 by incorporating the former Langwith College buildings, adding Eden's Court with eight houses designated for mature students.
