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:
“Face your own ambivalence about letting go and you will be better able to help you children cope with their own feelings. The insight you gain through your own acceptance of change will bolster your confidence and make you a stronger college parent. The confidence you develop will be evident to your child, who will be able to move away from you without fear.”
—Norman Goddam (20th century)
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
