| The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre |
The gardens and grounds team have been very busy over the last few weeks as, apart from their daily maintenance duties, they have been focusing their efforts on the area around the new Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre in the build up to todays official opening. They have been planting, weeding, mulching, leafing, sweeping, mowing, edging, dry grouting, turf laying, hedge cutting and power washing all for this special day and the arrival of HRH The Duchess of Cornwall who will be officially opening the centre. Accompanied by her son, alumnus (English 1974) Tom Parker-Bowles, the Duchess arrived at 11:30 today and was warmly welcomed by alumnus (Law 1967) HM Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, Tim Stevenson OBE and his wife. The opening ceremony and the unveiling of the dedication stone were held in the Tuanku Bainun Auditorium within the centre in the presence of alumnus (PPE 1976) and benefactor, HRH Sultan Nazrin Shah, Ruler of Perak, Malaysia; the head of the college, Provost Sir Jonathan Bate, and invited guests, alumni, students and staff. After the ceremony finished a drinks reception was held in the foyer before the ceremonial party moved on to the Provost's lodgings.
