The building itself resembles a fortress.
The CCDC was formed in 1965 by Olga Kennard in the university's Chemical Laboratories. The architect, Erik Sørensen, had in 1960 been the architect of Kennard's own house, Keelson, 8A Hills Avenue.
From 1969-1976 the CCDC was housed at College House in Lucy Cavendish College.
The data was valuable enough that the centre, although still linked with the university, became an independent company in 1989, with the status of a non-profit charitable institution.
