In 1979, the University of Birmingham decided to set up an undergraduate course in Physics and Astronomy, to be undertaken by the School of Physics in collaboration with the Department of Space Studies***. Dr. Ken Elliott put forward plans for an observatory and proposed to the Space Studies Organizing Committee that students be able to use the observatory and thus carry out observational activities.
The proposal was endorsed and Dr. Chris Eyles and Dr. Ken Elliott*** visited telescope manufacturers to discuss the feasibility of an observatory.
Funding was completed in October 1980 and the purchase of equipment for the Observatory was finalized that same year on December 29.
In January 1981, the University of Birmingham announced plans for austerity and was told that no new orders could be submitted, but that previously confirmed purchases could go ahead.
Measurements of the brightness of the sky were taken at the Poe Inding Physics Building and at the University of Birmingham's Events Ground, and the final site for the Observatory was chosen near the University of Birmingham's Events Ground, about 8 kilometers south of the main campus because of the lighter light pollution of the night sky here, which was shown to be nearly 100 times fainter than that at the main campus.
On June 13, 1984 the Observatory was officially opened by Sir Francis Graham Smith, Astronomer Royal.
The Observatory is primarily used as a laboratory for teaching undergraduate degree programs in astronomy and physics, and initially*** had two units: a 16-inch Cassegrain reflector and a 14-inch Meade Instruments LX200R.
Trial operation of the Ritchey Chretien telescope, with a 50-cm primary mirror, was begun in 2013, supplied by Alluna Optics ( Ritchey Chretien telescope), which became operational in 2014. In 1922, Alderman W. A. Cadbury objected to the expansion of hospitals in the city of Birmingham and planned to build a new one at Edgbaston, and five years later an executive committee was set up with a plan to spend about ?1,000,000, five-sixths of which was to be spent on the building of the hospital, and one-sixth on the medical school of the University of Birmingham. And in the plan in 1929, the plan to set up 600 beds, and encourage the University of Birmingham to carry out clinical, surgical, therapeutic, obstetrics, gynecology, ophthalmology, ENT, orthopedics and other medical teaching. But the UK was plunged into economic crisis afterward and this planning was shelved.
In April 1930, calls for a hospital grew and in 1931, ?600,000 was raised and in 1933 construction began. The hospital was designed and built by Thomas Arthur Lodge and Edward III placed the foundation stone on October 23, 1934, and the completed hospital *** counted 840 beds. The project ultimately cost ?1,029,057 and left a balance of ?129,406.
On March 1, 1939, it was opened by George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, the Dowager Empress, and named Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
From June 2010 to November 2011, the Old Queen Elizabeth Hospital began its transfer to the New Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the newly built Queen Elizabeth Hospital cost ?545,000,000 and is the largest single-site public hospital in the United Kingdom, undertaking the largest number of kidney transplants in the United Kingdom, with 1,213 beds***, is affiliated with the University of Birmingham and is a Royal Centre for Preventative Medicine. Replacing the previous Queen Elizabeth Hospital & Sealy Oaks Hospital.
In 2013, the University of Birmingham reopened some of the beds at the old Queen Elizabeth Hospital to cope with increasing healthcare demand.
