[6] A £60 million redevelopment of the former sixth form college site began in 2005, and the present campus opened in September 2007.

The Learning and Skills Council contributed £21 million funding to the project, with the rest of the costs being met through the sale of the former site on Tadcaster Road.

[10] During the redevelopment all the students were based on the further and higher education site at Tadcaster Road, which was afterwards demolished to make way for housing.

[12] In September 2015, York College opened a building dedicated to construction and skills as part of its main campus.
