The Fisher Building was
the first student accommodation to be built
west of the river in Cambridge. It was
originally made up of 82 two-room sets
clustrered around five staircases.
Apparently the building "floats" on a
concrete raft supported by 120 piles.
The college website says that Fisher now
provides, "... 79 rooms occupied by a
combination of Fellows, undergraduates,
and a few postgraduate students. The
majority of rooms are sets i.e. a study
with a separate bedroom, with the lower
three floors being shared
sets occupied by second year
undergraduates. The attic sets are for
single occupation and are taken by
undergraduates or occasionally by
postgraduate students.
The shared sets all have en-suite shower
rooms whilst the attic sets on the third
floor share facilities between
each group of four."
