In 1923 the Estate Management Branch of the School of Agriculture was established in order to provide teaching for the University examination in estate management, and also to provide professional management services for University and college properties. The Estate Management branch was controlled by the Faculty Board of the School of Agriculture through the Estate Management Committee. Continuing growth in demand for professional services in estate management led to the establishment in 1946 of an independent Department of Estate Management, directly responsible to the General Board through the Board of Estate Management. The Department retained the twin functions of teaching and professional services until they were split in 1962 between the Department of Land Economy and the Estate Management and Advisory Service. In 1973, the department was again renamed as the Estate Management and Building Service.
