Founded 2008. Formed in 2008 by the merger of Green College (1979) and Templeton College (1965), named for benefactors Dr Cecil Green and Sir John Templeton; it is a graduate-only college focused on management, medicine and the social sciences.
Centred on the elegant late-18th-century Radcliffe Observatory, an Oxford landmark modelled on the Tower of the Winds in Athens, set within the former Radcliffe Infirmary grounds among modern graduate buildings.
