The building was constructed to provide a new College of Technology and an extension to the museum.
The college occupied the lower levels and the museum the upper levels. Bomb damage led to some reconstruction work in the 1960s.
The lower levels were taken over by Liverpool Polytechnic and its successor Liverpool John Moores University.
The building reopened as part of World Museum Liverpool in 2005 and houses its research department.
