I'm a bit late on noting this anniversary...Bath College in Bath, UK  celebrated the 125th anniversary of its founding  in 1892 as Bath City Science, Art and Technical Schools.  Three predecessor schools provided a foundation for the  institution:  Bath School of Art and Science, opened in May 1854 as the Bath School of Art Bath Art Night Classes that was in existence by 1878 Bath Evening Science School that opened in 1879 Courses were offered through a number of different locations over the years prior to the relocation to Avon Street in 1960.  The name of the institution also changed over time with changes in student populations and mission.  In 1986 it became City of Bath College of Further Education.

Senior staff writer, Holly Brown, notes that the, "...architectural history of the College dates back to 1592 when the first foundation stones were laid on the former site of Old Hallows Monastery."  She concludes that while the space provides a rare setting of tranquility and order in an urban setting, it wasn't by design...it just turned out that it works.

The University of Central Lancashire is preparing to celebrate the 190th anniversary of its founding in 1828. You can visit the institution's web site for links to information on individuals who played key roles, separate pages devoted to each of seven historical periods, planned anniversary events, and ways to share stories or get involved.  A short YouTube video provides a " Timeline of UCLan's 190th History ."
