History

In January 2005, Chelsea College of Art and Design relocated to Millbank, next to Tate Britain. For the first time in its history all the disciplines are now united on one site, giving students and staff an exciting new opportunity to mix and exchange ideas in a custom built facility and in a way that will define the College as it moves forward.

In fact, the history of the College goes back much further, to the late 19th century when the old academies of fine art were being challenged, and new vocational courses in the arts, crafts and design were being introduced.
