“Architecture is a public art, and architects have a responsibility
to create buildings that enhance the quality of life
for everyone who uses them.”
Winton Chapel
The university was founded in 1840 as the Winchester Diocesan Training School train teachers for the Church of England. It is located on the site of a former prison. The building that now houses the university's Chapel and Library was used as a county jail. The prison was eventually closed, and the site was repurposed for educational use, becoming the location of the Winchester Training College in 1928.
