A spacious library was erected on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of the college in 1972 and occupies a place of pride on the campus as well as in Chennai.

From 1978 onwards there was a shift in the admission policy, keeping in mind the thrust of the college towards social justice.

On the occasion of the Golden Jubilee, the St. Clare's Centre- a four-story building that houses the administrative offices, an audio-visual room, computer laboratories, and several classrooms- was erected.

As of 2014, the college has undertaken around twelve environmental initiatives including light-emitting diode cluster lights, solar-powered streetlights, source segregation, vermi-composting, and waste water recycling plant.

In January 2014, the college opted for green energy with the installation of a 50-kilo watt roof-top solar power plant on its campus.
