St John's College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. It was founded by Thomas White, a merchant, in 1555 and whose heart is buried in the grounds of the chapel. The site was formerly the monastry of St. Bernard. Fairly large, it comprises approximately 400 undergraduates and 250 postgraduates and academic staff, and is the wealthiest college in Oxford. The college stands on St. Giles, which it owns, and is close to the Martyrs' Memorial. The Thomas White wing of the college is an early work by Ove Arup
