St John's owned a large field on Clarkson Road, which was derelict for many years, and whose main contribution to Cambridge then was a long row of blackberry bushes along the north side backing onto the gardens of houses on Madingley Road.
In the late 1980s St John's allowed the university to build a mathematics institute on the site, which was modeled on a similar institution in Santa Barbara, California.
This is the building where, in a celebrated lecture, Wiles announced his first (incorrect) proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
The building is distinguished inside by having blackboards everywhere, even in the toilets.
In the late 1990s the rest of the site was being developed with a large new (pure and applied) mathematics complex. The first buildings opened in 2000.
