The main site is Matthew Boulton College based at Jennens Road in Birmingham City Centre.

[1] The origins of Matthew Boulton College are related to the Municipal Technical School, which was located on Suffolk Street in Birmingham.

The classes available were Chemistry, Physics, Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Metallurgy, Mathematics, Handicrafts and Typography and Drawing.

The Gosta Green site became the UK's first College of Advanced Technology (CAT), later Aston University, receiving its royal charter in 1966.

Construction started in January 2004 and was completed by July 2005 to allow the building to be opened to students for the new academic year in September 2005.

[3] Bond Bryan Architects were commissioned to design the scheme while Davis Langdon were appointed to manage the construction and costs of the project.

[5] The Sherlock Street buildings were purchased by the regional development agency Advantage West Midlands[4] and were demolished in late 2008.

[8] A new Sixth Form Centre, designed by SMC Hickton Madeley Architects, at the Lichfield Road campus was completed in 2001.

[11] The merger to create 'Birmingham Metropolitan College' was approved by the Secretary of State in June 2009 and came into effect from 1 August 2009.

Upon the merger, the new college had a combined student population of 27,000, making it one of the largest further and higher education institutions in the United Kingdom.

[10] Before the 2013–2014 academic year, the college prohibited garments obscuring the face, for which it was congratulated by the Prime Minister, David Cameron.

The buildings were mostly constructed in the 1950s as purpose-built structure although the college also obtained the Grade II* listed Moat House which was built in the 17th century by Sir William Wilson.

On Sutton Coldfield High Street is the college's Media Centre which is based within the Emmanuel Court office complex.

The nine-storey building is located on Jennens Road in the Eastside district of Birmingham City Centre, adjacent to Aston University.

[20] Plans for a new campus for Sutton Coldfield College in the Perry Barr area of Birmingham came to light in 2005.

The site chosen was the former Express and Avonmore Dairy complex on Aldridge Road and the initial plans included the construction of a four-storey building, which received approval from Birmingham City Council in November 2005.

However, in early 2009, the Learning and Skills Council announced that they were putting a freeze on capital programmes due to a lack of funds.
