History


Oxford Brookes University started in 1865 as the Oxford School of Art, located in a single room on the ground floor of the Taylor Institution at St Giles', Oxford.[6] In 1870 the School of Science was added and in 1891, under the administration of the City Council's Technical Instruction Committee, it was renamed the Oxford City Technical School, incorporating the School of Art, which remained distinct. Plans were made to relocate to the former Blue Coat School for Boys on St. Ebbes.


In 1934 the School of Art and the Technical School were merged and John Henry Brookes, Head of the School of Art and Vice Principal of the Technical School, was appointed the first principal of the merged institution.[7] By 1950 the college had 4,000 students. A new campus was built on a site offered by the local Morrell brewing family. Renamed "Oxford College of Technology", it opened on the new site in 1956.[7] Its first residence hall was established in 1960 and the college relocated to Headington in 1963.


In 1970, it became Oxford Polytechnic. In 1976, it took over the former Lady Spencer-Churchill College, which had been founded in Wheatley in August 1965, and in 1992 it incorporated the Dorset House School of Occupational Therapy, the first School of Occupational Therapy in the UK.[8]. Later in 1992, following enactment of the Further and Higher Education Act, it became Oxford Brookes University, the only one of the new universities to be named after its founder.[citation needed] In 2000, it took over the site of Westminster College, Oxford, basing its education and theological activities on the site, although theology was withdrawn in 2015.


In October 2003, Oxford Brookes University became the first university in the world to be awarded Fairtrade status.[9]


Baroness Kennedy served as the university's Chancellor from 1993 to 2001.[10] In 2007, Graham Upton retired as Vice-Chancellor and his successor, Janet Beer, was inaugurated in September.[11] In July 2008, Shami Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty, replaced Jon Snow as chancellor of the university.[12]


In March 2015 Alistair Fitt was inaugurated as Vice-Chancellor, replacing Janet Beer.[13]Dame Katherine Grainger British Olympic rower also replaced Shami Chakrabarti as Chancellor.[14] Katherine is Britain's most decorated female Olympic athlete and the first British woman to win medals at five successive games[15] (Rio 2016, London 2012, Beijing in 2008, Athens in 2004 and Sydney in 2000). She was made a Dame for her services to rowing and charity in the 2017 New Years Honours.


In 2015 Oxford Brookes University celebrated its 150th anniversary. A range of events and activities took place including celebrations recognising John Henry Brookes, the university's modern founder. The first Founder's Day was held in May 2016.[16]



Campuses


Oxford Brookes University has three main campuses and a fourth in Swindon.


Headington Campus 51°45′15.36″N 1°13′21.72″W / 51.7542667°N 1.2227000°W / 51.7542667; -1.2227000




Headington Hill Hall, the home of the School of Law




Marston Road site, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences


The Headington Campus is in a residential area of Oxford. The campus is made up of three sites; the main site on Gipsy Lane, home to a number of departments from across the university's four academic faculties and the John Henry Brookes Building which opened in 2014. Across the road is the Headington Hill site, home to the School of Arts and School of Law, and a short walk from main site is the Marston Road site a dedicated space for the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences and home to subjects including Nursing, Midwifery and Occupational Therapy.


Located on the campus are the main halls of residence, including Crescent Hall, Cheney Student Village, Clive Booth Hall, Clive Booth non-en suite (formerly Morrell Hall), Warneford Hall and Paul Kent Hall.


Wheatley Campus 51°45′2.53″N 1°7′41.6″W / 51.7507028°N 1.128222°W / 51.7507028; -1.128222

The Wheatley Campus is near Wheatley in the Oxfordshire countryside, seven miles south-east of the city centre, and is where information technology, mathematics and engineering are taught.The tall tower block can be seen from the A40 dual carriageway. The top 4 floors of the tower was initially closed in the early 2000's following the suicide of a student from the top. 5 years later the rest of the tower was shut after asbestos was found and the building was deemed unsafe to house students. The campus is set for closure in 2021, where the subjects taught at Wheatley will move to Headington Campus.


Harcourt Hill Campus 51°44′23.75″N 1°17′28.45″W / 51.7399306°N 1.2912361°W / 51.7399306; -1.2912361

The Harcourt Hill Campus is situated on Harcourt Hill on Oxford's western perimeter, two and a half miles from the city centre. Education, philosophy, religion, theology, Media and Communication, and many other subjects are taught here. It has two halls of residence: Harcourt Hill Hall and Westminster Hall. A regular devoted bus service links the campus to other campuses at Headington and Wheatley. It is also home to the University's leisure centre.


The campus was formerly the site of Westminster College, Oxford, an independent Methodist higher education institution which specialised in teacher training and theology. The campus was leased to Brookes by the Methodist Church, and Westminster College became the Westminster Institute of Education of Oxford Brookes University, located at the Harcourt Hill campus.


Swindon Campus 51°33′37.87″N 1°48′59.74″W / 51.5605194°N 1.8165944°W / 51.5605194; -1.8165944

Oxford Brookes University opened its new Swindon campus in August 2016.[17] The university moved from the former Ferndale campus in Swindon to a new, larger campus situated to the west of the town centre at the Delta Business Park. The building is named the Joel Joffe Building after Lord Joel Joffe, long-time Swindon resident and former human-rights lawyer. Adult Nursing, Operating Department Practice (ODP) and a range of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses are taught there. The new campus features a 185-seat lecture theatre, new library and social learning spaces, teaching rooms and three clinical skills suites.


Oxford Brookes University partners with Swindon College as part of its Associate College Partnership to deliver foundation and degree courses, provides widening participation activity with local schools.

Redevelopment


In recent years the university has seen major redevelopments including the opening of the £132 million John Henry Brookes Building, named after the University's spiritual leader,[18] which opened on the Headington campus in 2014. It brings together the library and teaching spaces with student support services and the Students’ Union (Brookes Union), who were formerly housed in the Helena Kennedy Centre on the Headington Hill site. The building has won multiple awards including a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) National Award; three RIBA regional awards; Oxford Preservation Trust Award and the Student Experience category of the 2014 Education Estates Awards.[19]


In 2013 the redeveloped Abercrombie Building opened on the Headington campus, offering facilities for architecture students with design studios and collaborative learning spaces. In October 2014 it won the Architect's Journal Retrofit Award.[20]


In January 2015 Oxford Brookes University announced a major estates investment for the next 10 years, with £13 million per year to be spent on redevelopment across all its campuses.[21] This is to include additional building on the Headington and Harcourt campuses as well as a new campus in Swindon. Part of this investment will see all activity moved from the Wheatley campus by 2021/22. The Oxford Brookes Business School moved from the Wheatley campus to refurbished buildings at Headington campus in 2017 with other departments to move to new buildings on the Headington Hill site in 2020.


The university's original redevelopment proposals were vigorously opposed by local residents in 2009 when presented to the local planning committee, with many undesirable aspects of the large student population in Oxford being discussed. However, the plans for the new building were eventually approved and building work began in 2010.
