Architecture has been taught at UCL for over 175 years. In 1841, UCL became the first British university to appoint a chair of architecture, Thomas Leverton Donaldson, a founding member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The faculty was named after its benefactor, Sir Herbert Bartlett.
The school moved to the 22 Gordon Street building at UCL’s London Bloomsbury campus in 1974.
