Doctor Steve Garnett was the guest of honour at the official opening ceremony,[11] a business magnate who previously spoke at the college.

Physical face-to-face teaching resumed on 8 March under new preventative measures, such as compulsory face masks in areas where social distancing could not be enforced.
