The red-brick building with a copper dome stands in Clarence Place on the east bank of the River Usk, close to Newport Bridge. It was built on land purchased from Lord Tredegar and opened in September 1910. Known locally as the former "Art College" or "School of Art", the Newport Technical Institute and its School of Art evolved from the Newport Mechanics Institute.{{citation needed|date=November 2010}}

After the School of Art relocated to the University of Wales, Newport Caerleon campus, the building fell into serious disrepair. In 2008 redevelopment began to convert the building into apartments and was completed in 2012.{{cite web|url=http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/8296219.Receivers_take_over_Newport_Art_College_work/|first=David|last=Deans|title=Receivers take over Newport Art College|publisher=South Wales Argus|date=10 May 2010|access-date=3 September 2023}}
