Abstract

The history of the successive premises occupied by the School could have been included in the previous chapter relating to the development of a quality culture. But the topic has played such a dominant role in the history of the School that it deserves a chapter on its own. More premises have been occupied than the School has had Deans! (See Box 12.1). Wigton House was a commercial block of six floors, mainly used as a warehouse (the site has now been re-developed but it was just south of the Walmsley building and shared a similar appearance). The Department of Education and Science authorised the College to lease the first floor of this building for five years from May 1964. This was the first home of the ‘management group’. Plain breezeblocks were used to divide up the space into offices, classrooms and a psychological laboratory and workshop. While part-time management students in 1964 were somewhat taken aback by the premises, the staff accepted them in their stride. It was after all an improvement on the Nissen-type hut where some of the undergraduate teaching took place.
