De La Salle College is a non-selective boys' secondary Catholic maintained school[2] in Belfast,[citation needed] Northern Ireland.

These early years coincided with the breakout of the Troubles and the school was to serve as a refugee centre for those fleeing the violence on the Lower Falls Road.

Principal, Brother Dominic was forced to introduce the use of mobile classrooms which encroached on the running track and tennis courts reducing the sports facilities available to students.

In September 2008, after over twenty years of operating on two sites, the brand new purpose-built De La Salle College was opened.

Located in Andersonstown, it remains one of the most up-to-date schools in Northern Ireland with modern fully-equipped classrooms, laboratories and workshops.

Additional funding was secured at that time to allow a double-sized sports hall to be built alongside the gymnasium and the weights and fitness rooms.

The school also includes the chapel of St Jean Baptiste De La Salle and modern facilities for the Home Economics, Technology, Music and Drama department.

The De La Salle Sports Complex operates as a private fitness and leisure provision at affordable prices for the local community.

In addition to the enhanced sports hall (with tiered seating for 200 people), fitness suite and strength and conditioning suite, the existing changing provision, minor hall and spin studio were all opened up for community use, enabling a much more extensive use by a variety of sporting clubs and community users.
