In 2024, Newnham College at the University of Cambridge unveiled a new addition to their outdoor spaces: a Christie electric cooktop. Installed by the UK supplier All Urban, this innovative outdoor amenity is designed to foster socialisation, encourage students to embrace the outdoors, and enhance the sense of community within the college.

A Space for Connection

Newnham College is renowned for its picturesque gardens and vibrant student life, and the Christie cooktop complements this setting perfectly. By offering students a space to cook and dine together outdoors, the installation encourages spontaneous gatherings, collaborative meal-making, and shared experiences – all integral aspects of university life. The cooktop’s sleek and durable design fits seamlessly into the college’s landscape, providing a modern and practical feature that promotes sustainability and inclusivity. Its electric operation ensures safe, clean cooking, aligning with the college’s environmental values and commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
