History

During the early 1960s, the British Government commissioned the Robbins Report to look into the future of

higher education Higher education is tertiary education leading to award of an academic degree. Higher education, also called post-secondary education, third-level or tertiary education, is an optional final stage of formal learning that occurs after comple ...

. In 1963, the University of Newcastle was officially established as a separate entity from the University of Durham, which meant that new colleges within Durham were required in order to meet the number of new university places that the Government wished to create. As a result, the university planned for three new colleges on Elvet Hill; these went on to become Collingwood, Trevelyan and Van Mildert.Martin, Susan ''Trev: A Celebration of 40 years of Trevelyan College Durham''

New women's college

Trevelyan was planned to become an all-women college, similar to St Mary's and St Aidan's, so as to increase the female population of the student body. The college was built on farmland south of St Mary's off Elvet Hill Road, which was owned by a local family, the Carpenters. Originally this land was intended to accommodate not only the new college, but also a University Assembly Hall with a capacity of 1,500 persons; however, the site was too small to accommodate both buildings. After much delay, the college was opened in October 1966 with 78 students. The official opening took place on 12 March 1968 by Lord Butler,

Since opening

In 1973, a 300-person capacity hall, the Sir James Knott Hall, (known colloquially as the "JKH") was opened in the presence of the

of the college. In order to make this a practical bar environment the cloisters were roofed over. The area above this new roof is nicknamed "The Goldfish Bowl" by students, due to the proximity of the windows looking into other rooms. In 1987, the Governing Body of the college voted to follow Hatfield and Castle in becoming mixed-sex, despite 68% of college members voting against such a change. In 1991 a new accommodation block was added to the main building. This block, the K block, is entirely ensuite and now reserved for final year and postgraduate students. The college became fully mixed in 1992. In 1993, and again in 2010, the bar underwent refurbishment. In 2000, a tennis court was added to the grounds at the back of the college. In 2021 Adekunle Adeyeye (College Principal) was reported to have created a culture of bullying, sexism and intimidation of staff

, G. M. Trevelyan's great-uncle. The layout features rooms based around staircases, landings and courtyards. The entrance hall is referred to as "the Cobbles", although said cobbles are no longer there, having been removed during a recent modern refit. A third of the college was fully refurbished in 2005. Approximately 320 fully catered students can be housed in the building, and around 790 are members of the college, making Trevelyan the third-smallest of Durham's seventeen colleges, and the smallest of those maintained by the university council. The building's design has won it a Civic Design Award.

The Sir James Knott Hall, catering for sports, theatrical and conference events is situated just across the college main entrance.

Student life

Common rooms

The Executive Committee ensures the successful running of the JCR, in conjunction with the College Officers. The rules of the JCR are stated in the
