Further expansion took place in the early 1970’s. A second Chair of Psychology was created by the Watts Chair bearing the name of its benefactor, and opening applications to any fields of experimental psychology.
In 1971, a final honours school in experimental psychology (EP) was introduced and The Institute once again needed more space and better facilities. It moved to the Tinbergen Building at 9 South Parks Road in 1971 and became the Department of Experimental Psychology, marking the beginning of a constant growth of inter-disciplinary activities, and enlarging its community of researchers.
