It was completed in the year 1885 and named after British Indian Civil Servant Sir John Strachey.AMU has drawn a plan for restoration and protection of all heritage buildings at the university.The idea of Strachey Hall is taken from the buildings of Oxford and Cambridge architecture. Sir Syed went to Oxford and Cambridge to get the idea of how college should look like and how should it work. He got the idea of Strachey Hall from there. The Strachey hall’s front wall is flat but its back wall is curved. The inner walls have stones engraved on them on which the name of donors are inscribed. Sir Syed used red sandstone to make the buildings, the same stone was also used by the Mughals in the Red Fort, and Jama Masjid and other sites.

After renovation it's just fabulous , A big contract was undertaken and a lot of money was spend on this and the outcome is amazing it has that blend of modern as well as ancient history within , You can literally feel it when you go ahead .
