The Royal College of Science and Technology was a higher education college that existed in Glasgow, Scotland between 1887 and 1964. Tracing its history back to the Andersonian Institute, it is the direct predecessor institution of the University of Strathclyde. Its main building on George Street now serves as one of the major academic and administration buildings of the University of Strathclyde.
