Glasgow Clyde College, Cardonald Campus (formally Cardonald College) is a medium-sized Further education institute located in Glasgow's South Side, in Scotland. Officially opened in 1972, it has over 12,000 full-time and part-time students. The college takes both students who have just left school and mature students.
The main campus is located in the South Cardonald area of Cardonald, close to Mosspark. This Campus is located 5 miles (8 km) from Glasgow's city centre.
Glasgow Clyde College (GCC) is currently linked to the Caledonian University.
In 2009, the college underwent a rebranding process designed to appeal to a wider range of student, commercial and international audiences. [1]
The Mosspark Drive Campus is located on Mosspark Drive. This is the main campus and is where the College's full-time and a majority of its part-time courses are held. In 2004 Building Design Partnership was appointed architect and design team leader for a major refurbishment and development project at the campus. This comprised building a new Family Centre and an Industry Skills Centre, as well as refurbishment of the existing tower block at the campus. [2] The Skills Centre was partly financed by a donation from the Robertson Trust of £100,000. [3]
In 1975 Strathclyde Region became the administering authority of the college.
