Turing College is the University of Kent's sixth college.
Named in honour of the mathematician and codebreaker Alan Turing,[1][2] the college's residential accommodations are divided into "Turing Houses" and "Turing Flats".[3] The dining area, "Hut 8", is named after Turing's section at Bletchley Park.[4][5]
Turing College is unlike the other colleges at the University of Kent in the sense that it is strictly residential and has no academic facilities other than a study space above the dining area.[6]
