History
In 1908 the Park building opened as a Municipal college and public library. The focus was on chemistry and engineering. The roots of the University can be traced back even further to the Portsmouth and Gosport School of Science and the Arts.
By the late 80s, Portsmouth Polytechnic had become one of the largest and best performing polytechnics in the UK.
