History

Origins

City University

Central London location map

City University traces its origin to the Northampton Institute, established in 1894, and named after the Marquess of Northampton, who donated the land on which the Institute was built, between Northampton Square and St John Street in Islington. The Institute was established to provide for the education and welfare of the local population. It was constituted under the City of London Parochial Charities Act (1883), with the objective of "the promotion of the industrial skill, general knowledge, health and well-being of young men and women belonging to the poorer classes".^[6]

Originally there were six departments at the Institute:

• Mechanical Engineering and Metal Trades
• Artistic Crafts
• Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering
• Horology (the science of time and art of clock-making)
• Electro-Chemistry
• Domestic Economy and Women's Trades

20th century

In 1903–04 a separate Technical Optics department was established. In 1909 the first students qualified for University of London BSc degrees in Engineering as internal students.^[6] Since 1909 the Institute had been involved in aeronautics education, and in 2009 the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences celebrated the centenary of aeronautics at City.^[7] In 1908 the Institute was used for the Olympic games.^[6] Boxing took place at the Institute.^[8]

The Institute was designated a "College of Advanced Technology" in 1957.^[6]

In 1961 the Institute's involvement in Information Science began with the introduction of a course on "Collecting and Communicating Scientific Knowledge". In 1966 City received its Royal Charter, becoming The City University to reflect the institution's close links with the City of London.^[9] In 1971 the Apollo 15 astronauts visited City University and presented the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Tait, with a piece of heat shield from the Apollo 15 rocket.^[10]

21st century

Following a donation from Sir John Cass's Foundation, a multi-million pound building was built at 106 Bunhill Row for the Cass Business School. A new Research Centre for Energy and the Environment was completed in 2001/02. One of the very few of its type worldwide, the Centre boasts some of the most advanced engine research facilities in Europe. Construction of the Fight for Sight Optometry Clinic – a new £5m facility dedicated to optometry teaching, clinical practice and research.

The Grade II listed College Building.

A £23m landmark building to house the School of Social Sciences and the Department of Language and Communication Science opened in 2004. The building uses the latest construction ideas for low-energy design and includes computing and experimental laboratories. Accommodation at One Canada Square was acquired in 2006 for Cass Business School's Executive Education programme. The reconstruction and redevelopment of the University's Grade II listed College Building (following a fire in 2001^[11]) was completed in July 2006. It houses a new high-tech Human Computer Interaction Design lab, supported by The Vodafone UK Foundation. In 2006, the Department of Radiography gained a brand-new purpose-built clinical skills suite. The suite is equipped with some of the most up-to-date imaging and radiotherapy equipment available; the Department claims this to be the best-equipped radiography clinical skills suite in England

In 2007 the School of Arts received a £10m building refurbishment. The project ran until autumn 2008 and saw the complete redevelopment of parts of the College Building.A new Students' Union venue opened in October 2008 called TEN squared. It provides a hub to socialise in during the day between lectures and hosts a wide range of evening entertainment including club nights, society events and quiz nights. In September 2007 many classrooms were installed with cutting edge classroom technology including touch-screen control, video conferencing software and high-quality audio to increase the focus of student generated input.

In January 2010, a premises was shared with UEA London, following City University's partnership with INTO. Since then City University has resumed its own International Foundation Program to prepare students for their pre-university year.

In April 2011, it was announced that the current Resident Halls and Saddler's Sports Centre will be closed and demolished for rebuilding in June 2011. It is proposed that the new Resident Halls and Sports Centre will be re-opened in September 2013.

In 2011, the University published a Vision for 2016 after consultation with its staff, students, alumni and Council. Its vision for 2016 is to be a “leading global University committed to academic excellence, focused on business and the professions and located in the heart of London. We are proud of the quality of our education, research and enterprise and are ranked within the top 2% of universities in the world.” A strategic plan to deliver the vision is currently in development.

On 19 May 2011 at the Forty-fourth Meeting of the Court, Members and other friends of City University London met to review the recent academic and financial performance of the University in the City Review 2010.
