History

• The university traces its earliest root to the Leicester School of Art, founded in 1870 on a voluntary basis to serve the drawing and design needs of a manufacturing town.该校最早的源头是 1870 年以志愿方式创办的莱斯特艺术学校，旨在服务这座制造业城镇的绘画与设计需求。

• As late 19th-century industry changed, the school broadened into engineering, building and machine drawing, and by 1897 the premises in use were judged no longer suitable.随着 19 世纪后期工业转型，学校扩展到工程、建筑与机器制图，到 1897 年现有校舍已被认为不敷使用。
