Emmanuel College, College of the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom

Emmanuel College consists of multiple buildings arranged around courtyards with gardens, including a chapel designed by Christopher Wren in the 17th century.

Founded in 1584 by Walter Mildmay, the college occupies the former site of a Dominican priory and transformed its original chapel into the current dining hall.

The college maintains connections with Harvard University through student exchanges, as John Harvard, who graduated from Emmanuel, established the American institution.

The student accommodation spreads across multiple buildings within the college grounds, providing rooms for undergraduates and graduates throughout their academic years.

The college features an outdoor swimming pool in the Fellows Garden, originally constructed for Dominican friars and remains in continuous use since medieval times.
