The Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (officially abbreviated as BIAD) was the art and design faculty of Birmingham City University in Birmingham, England. It has now been merged into the university's Faculty of Arts, Design and Media,^[1] and is based at the Birmingham City University City Centre Campus campus and Margaret Street for Fine Art.

History

BIAD dates back, in various incarnations, to the year 1843.^{[citation needed]} It reached its full maturity from the 1890s, as the Birmingham Municipal School of Art at Margaret Street, under the leadership of Edward R. Taylor. BIAD's Archives holds extensive records on the history of art & design in Birmingham, and 20 similar collections have also been deposited with the archives.

Organisation

The main BIAD campus and library is located at The Parkside Building, just north of Birmingham city centre, and about three-quarters of a mile from both Birmingham New Street railway station and the Custard Factory quarter. It is adjacent to Aston University.

There are also smaller centres located in: Margaret Street (former Birmingham School of Art) (Fine Art) in the city centre next to Birmingham Central Library and Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery; and Vittoria Street (School of Jewellery) in the city's Jewellery Quarter.

School of Art

The Birmingham School of Art was originally a municipal art school but was absorbed by Birmingham Polytechnic in 1971 and then became a part of the BIAD in 1988. Its Grade I listed building located on Margaret Street remains the home of the university's Department of Fine Art and is still commonly referred to by its original title. It currently houses the Centre for Fine Art Research (CFAR).^[2]

Reputation
