Accommodation for Graduates
One of Pembroke’s many attractions is our availability of dedicated graduate accommodation across our two sites, all within the heart of Oxford. In a highly-competitive city, we are proud to offer accommodation to our full-time graduate freshers, with rooms and domestic facilities that aim to further enrich the experiences of our graduate community.
GAB Riverside Accommodation
In autumn 2023 we were proud to launch our new £14m Graduate residential development at the Geoffrey Arthur Building (GAB) annexe. The GAB site is an 11 minute walk from the College's main site and sits along the River Thames.
The new development consists of two wings, the Thames Building and Cherwell Building, each fully accessible via a shared lift. These are comprised of 77 en-suites (including four accessible rooms) and four studio flats with 10 communal kitchens/living spaces, a common room, laundry facilities and secure bike storage.
In addition to the new development, the GAB complex houses 97 standard bedrooms in the original buildings (known as GAB1). These rooms are spacious (17m2) and offer shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. Residents of ‘GAB Standard’ rooms also have access to the common room, laundry and bike storage located in the new Cherwell building.
