The College has existed in several forms since 1897, but occupied its now familiar location on Stockton Street in the early 1960s.

The new building was constructed between 2009 and 2011 at a cost of £53 million, with final groundwork completed in summer 2012. The College was officially opened by the Duke of York in February 2012. Its Skills Academy was opened by the Rt. Hon. The Lord Mandelson in October 2011. ()
