The campus

The college's buildings are within close proximity of each other. The Balliol Centre serves the majority of the college's students as the main building with 8 floors, including the main Reception and "Student Advice Centre". More recently, the Pembroke Centre has been built to specialise in the training of trades, such as Joinery, Bricklaying and Electrical installation. The college's extensive programme of 'Independent Living' courses are also run at this building..
