[3] In 1907 the Office was reconstituted as the Galton Eugenics Laboratory as part of UCL, still under the direction of Karl Pearson a professor of Applied mathematics.

On his death in 1911, Francis Galton left his estate to the University of London to fund a permanent Chair of Eugenics filled by Karl Pearson.

In 1912 Sir Herbert Bartlett offered space in the North-West front of UCL's Wilkins building.

[6][8] The outbreak of the First World War interrupted work and the new space was not used by the department until October 1919, with an official opening in June 1920.

When Fisher moved to Cambridge in 1944 the laboratory was incorporated in an enlarged Department of Eugenics, Biometry and Genetics[9] headed by J.

Most notably this period saw another renaming of the department following negative associations of eugenics after World War II.

[14] Additionally, UCL announced that the institution would be denaming spaces and buildings named after Francis Galton and Karl Pearson.

Reasons cited by members of the MORE Group for their refusal to sign the Feb 2020 report included a need for more time to develop the narrative of the report, a deeper understanding of UCL's eugenics history and a broader set of terms that gave equal weight and understanding to all targets of eugenics.
