College Future
The College has definite plans to achieve University status in the future, possibly to replace what the Humberside Polytechnic formerly offered in the Humber region.
A £25 million university centre will open in 2011. Construction work began on 15 February 2010. Due to a Scarborough further education college's financial problems caused by its small size, the Yorkshire Coast College merged with the Grimsby Institute on 1 January 2010. Merger proposals were first announced in October 2008. Both colleges are administered by the Yorkshire & Humber LSC based in Bradford.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or future:
“A college of wit-crackers cannot flout me out of my humor. Dost thou think I care for a satire or an epigram?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
