Pembroke College was founded by King James I in 1624. It was named after William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, the Lord Chamberlain and Chancellor of the University.

In 2013 a footbridge was introduced to connect the existing college to its new buildings. One of the features of the walkway which is particularly elegant, is the single sheet used as a balustrade. This gives the footbridge a very airy, light look.
