TOUR 1

Thursday 23 January 4.00 pm

VENUE Classroom 2A, Kramer Law Building

A short thirty-minute lecture will be followed by a ninety-minute tour of the original core Upper Campus buildings: the two Upper Campus residences, the Maths Block, the Arts Block (now the AC Jordan Building), the original Students’ Union Building, the Oppenheimer and Jagger Library complex, finishing in the Cissie Gool Plaza.

Participants might benefit from reading Geoff de Wet’s article before the tour, The University of Cape Town Early Development on The Groote Schuur Estate 1916–1933: The Architecture and the Architects. Please click on this link to access the article: bit.ly/3AMNoaB

As these buildings are close to one another this tour does not involve a strenuous walk, but do wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a hat and water.
