Chelsea College of Science and Technology was established as a College of Advanced Technology on a single site on the corner of Manresa Road and King's Road, Chelsea, London SW3, as part of the University of London in 1966. In 1969 it expanded into new premises on Hortensia Road Chelsea to house the Departments of Zoology and Botany and accommodate M.Sc courses in applied biology. [1] It was granted its royal charter in 1971 at which time it was renamed Chelsea College. In 1985, it merged with King's College London.[2]

HistoryEdit
The site on Manresa Road had been earmarked for the college as early as 1890[3] and was opened as South West Polytechnic in 1895[4] and became the Chelsea Polytechnic in 1922.[4] By 1965 Parliament was considering a move of the college to St Albans in Hertfordshire.[5] The then Principal, Malcolm Gavin and the Professor of Science, Kevin Keohane were instrumental in the college becoming part of the University of London, and the creation of Britain's first Chair of Science Education.[6]
It incorporates the old Chelsea Public Library, which is a Grade II* listed building. It was built in 1890, and the architect was J. M. Brydon.[7]
