About School of Art, Architecture and Design

The School of Art, Architecture and Design is an art school in Aldgate in London, England, that is part of London Metropolitan University. It was established in its present form in 2012 from the merger of the Sir John Cass Faculty of Art, Media and Design and the faculty of Architecture and Spatial Design of the London Metropolitan University. John Cass' name was removed from the institutional name in 2020 because of his associations with the slave trade. The school is presently based at the University's refurbished Aldgate Campus which comprises three buildings, Goulston Street, Calcutta House and the Calcutta Small Annexe in Aldgate, London. Courses are provided at all levels including short courses, foundation year, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. It previously nicknamed 'The Cass', and also went by the Sir John Cass School of Art (1965–2001), the Sir John Cass College (1950–1964), and the Sir John Cass Technical Institute (1899–1949).
