Edward, Prince of Wales, opened the theatre. In 1923, Sir John Gielgud studied at RADA for a year. He later became President of the Academy, and its first Honorary Fellow. 1924 saw RADA's first government subsidy, a grant of £500. The Gower Street buildings were torn down in 1927 and replaced with a new building, financed by George Bernard Shaw, who also left one-third of his royalties to the Academy on his death in 1950. The Academy has received other government funding at various times throughout its history, including a £22.7m grant from the Arts Council National Lottery Board, which was used to renovate its premises and rebuild the Jerwood Vanbrugh Theatre. In 2000 the Academy founded RADA Enterprises Ltd, now known as RADA Business, providing training programmes and coaching for organisations and individuals in communications and team building that uses drama training techniques in a business context. The profits are fed back into the Academy to help cover the costs. In 2001, RADA joined with the London Contemporary Dance School to create the UK's first

RADA has been registered with the Office for Students as a higher education institution since July 2018.
