Edge Hill University is a campus-based public university in Ormskirk, Lancashire, England, which opened in 1885 as Edge Hill College, the first non-denominational teacher training college for women in England, before admitting its first male students in 1959.[2] In 2005, Edge Hill was granted Taught Degree Awarding Powers by the Privy Council and became Edge Hill University on 18 May 2006.[3]

The university has three faculties: Arts and Sciences, Education, and Health and Social Care; these teach at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

History

Edge Hill College opened on 24 January 1885 on Durning Road, Edge Hill, Liverpool, by a group of seven Liverpool businessmen and philanthropists. It was named after the district in which it was sited, It was the first non-denominational teacher training college for women in England. By 1892, Edge Hill was one of only two colleges in England combining teacher training and degree course study. As student numbers increased, Edge Hill quickly outgrew its surroundings. The institution was handed over to the Lancashire Education Committee, with the foundation stone for the present Ormskirk campus laid on 26 October 1931 by J.T. Travis-Clegg, Chairman of Lancashire County Council. The main buildings comprised a main education block, four halls of residence (named Stanley, Clough, Lady Margaret and John Dalton), an Assembly Hall, a library, craft room, gymnasium, lecture theatres, classrooms and a music room.[2]

Between 1939 and 1946, the college was evacuated to Bingley in Yorkshire,[4] and the Ormskirk site was requisitioned for use by the military.[2]

The Durning Road premises were destroyed in a bombing raid on 17 November 1940, during the Liverpool Blitz, which killed 166 people.[5]

Edge Hill became a mixed college, admitting its first male students in October 1959, when it had about 500 students in total. In 1963 the university recorded having 660 students and 59 members of staff.[2]

The institution has since expanded further, with further developments at Ormskirk and the absorption of the former Sefton School of Health Studies.

In 2005, Edge Hill was granted Taught Degree Awarding Powers by the Privy Council.[3] On 18 May 2006 the institution became Edge Hill University and in August 2008 the university was granted the power to award research degrees.[6]


Campus

Edge Hill University is based on a 160-acre (650,000 m2) campus in Ormskirk , the administrative centre of West Lancashire. It is midway between Liverpool and the county town of Preston.

The Woodlands campus is based in Chorley, central Lancashire, and offers continuing professional development programmes and part-time study.

Catalyst

Catalyst serves as the Students' library on the Ormskirk campus, as well as the student services and information centre. The original library, which opened in the 1990s, was replaced with a new purpose built multi-storey building, located on the old running track, adjacent to the Wilson Centre, and equidistant between the Student Hub and Creative Edge Buildings, as part of a £36 million development.[11] The £26 million building houses a study space that is 8,000 square metres, which is 50% larger than the old Library building.[12] The development began in December 2016, when the old racing track was dug up. Catalyst opened on the 9th July 2018.

Halls of Residence

The original Halls of Residence were 'named Stanley, Clough, Lady Margaret and John Dalton "in honour" of the Derby Family' and "of three individuals famous in the history of Lancashire and of Education" (Anne Jemima Clough was a pioneer of higher education for women, having founded Newnham College, Cambridge)'[13]

Five Halls, opened in 1963 by Princess Margaret, are named after Lady Openshaw, Katherine Fletcher (Chairs of Governors), EM Butterworth, Margaret Bain (Principals) and Eleanor Rathbone, a noted social reformer.[14] Lancashire Hall was demolished in 1999 to make way for the Wilson Centre (Edge Hill Sport), but was originally built to house male students.

University symbols

Coat of Arms

The university received a Grant of arms in 2007.[50]

The coat of arms consists of a shield, a crest, a badge and a motto and contains images and symbols that represent Edge Hill's history and values.

The University's physical origins are represented by the Red Rose of Lancashire in the shield and by the Liver bird in the crest, which refers to its original location in Liverpool.

The colours green and heliotrope (purple) are those of the Suffragette movement, symbolising the University's early commitment to the equality of women through its beginnings as a women-only college.

The coat of arms contains a sun, symbolising illumination and enlightenment; a quill to represent learning, and peacock feathers meaning beauty, power and knowledge. A lion represents strength, bravery and magnanimity, and a stag suggests wisdom, regeneration, peace and harmony.

The University's motto – "In Scientia Opportunitas" – translates as "In knowledge there is opportunity".

The Mace

Edge Hill University Mace

The Mace is the symbol of the University's authority to award degrees. Edge Hill University commissioned its mace in 2007, from silversmith Clive Burr. Inspired by the University Coat of Arms and the campus architecture, the mace took six months to produce and is crafted from sterling silver. At the head is an 18-carat yellow gold dome enamelled by Jane Short, with a hand engraved inscription of the University motto running around the silver edge. The main body has a hand engraved decoration running around it, the design inspired by the acanthus leaves and stone columns of the entrance to the original University building.
