University College, Shakespeare Street entrance, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, c1880.
University College, Shakespeare Street entrance, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, c1880. The University College was built between 1877 and 1881 by Lockwood and Mawson in a Victorian high gothic style. It closed two years later because of structural defects, but reopened in 1890. From its foundation, the University College came under the authority of the Nottingham Corporation and the College's management committee was controlled by the Town Council. In August 1948, the University College received the royal charter granting full University status and the power to confer its own degrees (prior to this date students at Nottingham received degrees from the University of London). The University relocated to its present Highfields site between Lenton, Dunkirk and Beeston, land donated by Jesse Boot, in 1928. Parts of the old University College buildings were then used as Nottingham Central Library before becoming what is today part of Nottingham Trent University.
