Date built: 1839

The department occupies half of a long terrace, the other half being occupied by a hotel.

In the late 1950s an extension designed by Colin St John Wilson was added at the back.

Next to that extension there was a geodesic dome designed by David Croghan dating from 1958-1962, and very much symbolic of its era. This was demolished in 2000 and replaced by temporary accomodation, which itself was replaced in 2006-2007 by a new studio building by Mole Architects.

In 2006-2008 the department was extensively renovated under the guidance of Freeland Rees Roberts. In particular, the wall at the front was rebuilt in 2007.
