History
While the college in its present incarnation has only existed since the 1950s, Lancaster and Morecambe College traces its existence back to the early 19th century. The history of the college begins in 1824, when the Library and Mechanics' Institute was opened in Mary Street, Lancaster. The college moved from various sites before being re-established in 1891 as the Storey Institute, a recently constructed premises complete with purpose-built facilities.
The new premises were built on the site of the Mechanics' Institute of 1824. It was built to a design by Paley, Austin and Paley, and was paid for by Thomas Storey (which is why it became known as the Storey Institute). It was donated to the town in 1893 as a technical and science school, newsroom, library, art school and gallery and venue for musical recitals. In 1904, Thomas' son Herbert gave £10,000 to extend the Institute up Castle Hill.
In 1953, the College was again re-established, this time on its present site. In 1963, the College was officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
