Roland Kerr College is a fictional educational institution
devised as the final location of A Study in Pink. Its twin buildings are
a remarkable piece of work however - they are both realised through
special visual effects. Rather than being in central London, the
main façade of the School of Chemistry at Cardiff University forms
the basis for Roland Kerr, mirrored and manipulated through the use
of computer graphics. The building is Grade II listed.
Built into the Park Place Main Building in Cardiff's Cathays
Park, the Chemistry department forms one of twenty seven academic
schools within Cardiff University. The University received its
Royal Charter in 1883.
