History

Originally sited next to Our Lady's High School and Fir Park Stadium in Motherwell, the original building has since been demolished for redevelopment as a housing estate.

The college moved into a new campus in August 2009, which is located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the old site. [3] It was officially opened in January 2010 by the Princess Royal. [4]

The campus is fully equipped, and has an on-site nursery. [5] There are two librarys/learning centres which members of the public can use on a drop in basis. [6]
