Wilberforce Road

[4] Plans were initiated in 1997 to move the university's mathematical departments to a site off Wilberforce and Clarkson Roads, adjacent to the existing Isaac Newton Institute.

[5] Among the buildings that pre-date the road itself, the most notable is Emmanuel College's sports pavilion with its adjoining groundsman's house and stable (now number 38), completed in 1910.

It was designed by the London architects Reginald Francis Wheatly and Edward Ford Duncanson, and is listed at grade II, as a rare example of a surviving Edwardian sports pavilion complete with ancillary buildings.

[6] The grade-II-listed number 9, by Dora Cosens for the zoologist William Homan Thorpe[7] (1936–1937),[8][6][9] is constructed in rendered brick on a square plan.

[8][6][11] Additionally 31 Madingley Road, a grade-II-listed Modernist red-brick house by Marshall Sisson (1931–1932), stands on the east side of the junction.

[8] University facilities include the Centre for Mathematical Sciences on the east side,[15] built to an unusual design by Ted Cullinan.

[4][16][17] In The Buildings of England series, Simon Bradley describes it as among Cullinan's best work, "at once wildly imaginative and tightly disciplined", and compares the pavilions to pagodas or stupas.
