The institute exists in the E building of the Hans Christian Ørsted Institute at Universitetsparken 5 in Copenhagen.
From the founding of the University of Copenhagen in 1479, mathematics had been part of the Faculty of Philosophy. In 1850 it was moved to the new faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The Institute for Mathematical Sciences was first created in 1934 beside the Niels Bohr Institute building, when Carlsbergfondet donated money for a building in celebration of the 450 year anniversity of the University of Copenhagen in 1929. In 1963 the institute moved to it's current location.
