Manchester School of Art in Manchester, England, was established in 1838 as the Manchester School of Design. It is the second oldest art school in the United Kingdom after the Royal College of Art which was founded the same year. The school opened in the basement of the Manchester Royal Institution on Mosley Street. It became the School of Art in 1853 and moved to Cavendish Street in 1880. It was subsequently named the Municipal School of Art. In 1880, the school admitted female students, at the time the only higher education available to women, although men and women were segregated. The school was extended in 1897. The school became part of Manchester Polytechnic in 1970 and is now a faculty of the Manchester Metropolitan University. Its 175th anniversary in 2013 was marked by the opening of a new building designed by the Fairhurst Design Group and the refurbishment of the Chatham Tower. The school comprises three major teaching departments, Art, Design and Media, the Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design (MIRIAD) and together with the University of Manchester, the Manchester School of Architecture. ==History== Calico printers Edmund Potter and James Thomson were involved in the school's foundation.
