for PEMBROKE COLLEGE
The Geoffrey Arthur Building, an annexe of Pembroke College known as the GAB, is on the towpath at the end of Marlborough Road. It was designed by Maguire & Murray architects and completed in 1989. Work on a project to rejuvenate the site began at the end of 2020.
Sir Geoffrey George Arthur, after whom the building is named, was a British diplomat who served as Master of Pembroke College from 1975 until his death in 1984.
Senator Richard Lugar, who laid the foundation stone, had been a Rhodes Scholar at Pembroke College from 1954 to 1956.
