The Centre for Mathematical Sciences (CMS)
at the University of Cambridge houses the
university's Faculty of Mathematics, the Isaac
Newton Institute, and the Betty and Gordon
Moore Library.
It is situated on Wilberforce Road, formerly
a St John's College playing field, and has
been leased by St John's to the University
as such is part of its expansion into West
Cambridge.
The Isaac Newton Institute was opened in 1992.
Andrew Wiles announced his proof of Fermat's
Last Theorem on 23 June 1993.
The rest of the site was designed by Edward
Cullinan architects and Buro Happold and construction
under project manager Davis Langdon was completed
in 2003.
It consists of 340 offices in 7 'pavilions',
arranged in a parabola around a 'central core'
with lecture rooms, common space, and a grass-covered
roof, as well as a gatehouse.
The design won awards including the British
Construction Industry Major Project Award
2003, the David Urwin Design Award 2003, the
Royal Fine Art Commission Trust Specialist
Award 2003 and the RIBA Award 2003.
