Protecting our heritage
Ormond’s campus is at the heart of College life, blending history with modern learning and community spaces. By supporting heritage projects, you help preserve treasured traditions while creating places that inspire future generations of Ormondians.
Every gift helps us care for Ormond’s historic spaces and create new ones – ensuring the College continues to inspire students for generations to come.
Shaping Ormond for generations to come
Ormond’s historic campus has always been more than just a backdrop. It’s where friendships take root, ideas are tested and life at College unfolds: in the library’s quiet corners, over dinner in the Dining Hall or late at night in the JCR Café. These spaces hold generations of memories, and they continue to shape the experience of every student who calls Ormond home.
Caring for a place like this takes foresight. Preserving heritage while adapting for the future isn’t just maintenance – it’s about keeping Ormond alive to the way students live and learn today, and making sure it’s ready for those who’ll follow.Our campus plan looks ahead decades, not just years. It balances restoration with renewal — honouring the fabric of our buildings while creating spaces that support modern student life. From major refurbishments to quiet upgrades, every project is part of a bigger picture: protecting what matters and evolving what’s needed.
Your impact
Recent projects like the George Scott Library, the Academic Centre and the JCR Café have already transformed daily life at Ormond. These changes – made possible through the generosity of alumni and friends – give students better spaces to study, gather and feel at home.
