September marks 120 years since our Eskdale Terrace buildings first opened to students!📚✨

Lessons started in September 1906, followed by a formal opening ceremony in January 1907.

Only the best materials were to be used in the building – local Windy Nook stone; Leicestershire red bricks; Austrian oak; American walnut.

All of these details were set out in a volume of cost estimates and contracts submitted by the architects in 1904, which is preserved in the Archive. The tiny sketches showing the designs of columns, cornices and plasterwork are fascinating to see.
