 In June 2001, the college announced plans to replace two of its centres, based at Parson Cross and in Loxley, with a single campus in Hillsborough that would serve 1,800 students across the north of Sheffield.The plans received criticism from some, suggesting that there was 'inequality in education in the city'.In November 2003, construction began on the £27 million campus, with the building completed in 2005.
