General Information on the College...

Introduction

Following incorporation on 1 April 1993, the College became independent of the Local Education Authority and is now mainly funded (approximately 75%) directly through the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). Each college is a corporate body and is responsible for all matters, including premises, with Governors effectively becoming the employers of College staff. The College was first established as an independent institution in 1960 and moved into purpose-built accommodation in 1969.

The College currently operates from seven sites: North Street, Millwright Street (Leeds Central), Parkside Lane, Lockwood Way (South Leeds), Stourton, RISE and Clarence Road. 

The North Street building houses a number of large and well-equipped workshop areas, drawing offices and lecture rooms together with specialist laboratories for science and computing and the Team Education Unit. There is also a multimedia CAD Centre and IT suite. Communal rooms include dining rooms for staff and students, staff and student common rooms, conference and committee rooms, lecture theatre, library and resources centre. 

The Millwright Street building currently houses Plumbing, Painting & Decorating and Signmaking courses.

The Parkside Lane building off Dewsbury Road houses Plumbing and Gas courses.

The building at Lockwood Way (off Parkside Lane) houses Electrical Courses and the AM2 Centre.
