Oxford Brookes University history
The Early Days1865
Oxford School of Art is founded, as one room on the ground floor of the Taylor Institution, St Giles.
1870
School of Science is incorporated into the School of Art; offers a wide range of scientific and technical subjects, plus evening classes in the University Museum.
1871
School is forced to move into cramped basement in the Taylor Institution, to make way for what is now the Ruskin School of Art, founded by Oxford University's Slade Professor of Art John Ruskin.
1888
New chemistry laboratory is provided at Wesleyan School.
1891
School is taken over by City Council's Technical Instruction Committee and renamed Oxford City Technical School, incorporating the School of Art. A site is chosen for its permanent home, at the old Blue Coat School for Boys, St Ebbes.
1894
St Ebbes site is opened; used mainly for evening classes, but also used as a day school.
1899
School's rapid growth leads to the new site being declared inadequate by the Department of Science and Art. Expansion of the site is forbidden - but the School remains here for another 50 years!
