Imperial Service College
The Imperial Service College (ISC) was an English independent school based in Windsor, originally known as St. Mark's School when it was founded in 1845.[1][2]
In 1942, it merged with Haileybury to form Haileybury and Imperial Service College. ISC had itself previously absorbed the United Services College.
During the 1950s part of the site was the home of The Royal Horse Guards Light Aid Detachment Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (LAD REME RHG) while Kipling Memorial Building (1939) was used by the local council, the Royal Borough of New Windsor.
The area is now being redeveloped as offices.
