Namesake
It was named, after much debate, after the economist John Maynard Keynes. Other names considered included Richborough, a town in Kent, and Anselm, a former Archbishop of Canterbury. [2] Appropriately the University's department of Economics is located in the building.
College architecture
The college was designed by different architects from Eliot and Rutherford and consequently has a very different design. With limited funds, the initial study bedrooms lacked individual wash-basins, instead having communal facilities, though common areas for groups of study bedrooms were included, a change from the Eliot and Rutherford corridors.[3] Keynes is notable for having a much clearer separation between the residential and non-residential areas than the other three colleges, with the teaching rooms and old dining hall concentrated at the front and east of the college.
College traditions
The Junior College Committee has the unique position of "Duck Warden" amongst its officers, charged with looking after the ducks in the college pond. Every year the college holds "Keynestock", a music festival.
