Hull School of Art and Design

Founded in 1861,[1] classes were originally given in a suite of upstairs chambers at the Public Assembly Rooms, now the New Theatre.

In 1901, an Anlaby Road site was acquired from the North Eastern Railway Company, and an architectural competition advertised.

The winning design for a new Hull School of Art was produced by the Bloomsbury firm of Lanchester, Stewart and Rickards; the building was completed in April 1905.

In 1972 a new Art College Building on Queens Gardens was commissioned, designed by the Architectural Partnership of Frederick Gibberd.

This building received its first students in September 1974, and offered honours degrees in Fine Art and Graphic Design.
