&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Work on first phase of the [[James Clerk Maxwell Building]] at [[King&amp;#039;s Buildings]] began in 1966.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1960s saw massive expansion of the the [[Faculty of Science]] at King&amp;#039;s Buildings to accommodate a surge in student numbers. The first major addition to the campus was the James Clerk Maxwell Building, designed by  [[Sir Basil Urwin Spence (1907-1976)|Sir Basil Spence (1907-1976)‏‎]]. Phase 1 of the building housed the following departments (which moved in to the building in stages between 1969 and 1976):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Geology]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Mathematics]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Meteorology]] &lt;br /&gt;
*[[Physics]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It also became home to the [[Edinburgh Regional Computing Centre]] from 1968. It currently houses Edinburgh University&amp;#039;s [[School of Physics and Astronomy]] and [[School of Mathematics]].&lt;br /&gt;
