The Dill Faulkes Educational Trust has made an exceptionally generous donation of one million pounds to the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, to finance construction of the gatehouse on the Clarkson Road Site. The gatehouse is strategically placed at the east end of the site, between the Newton Institute and the new library. It will provide the main access to the site for all pedestrians and cyclists approaching from the Grange Road end of Clarkson Road.

The building will contain a semi-circular seminar room, accomodating 50, at first floor level, and three offices at ground floor level, so providing greatly improved facilities for the Newton Institute's research workshops and related activities.
