Redevelopment
The original college accommodation 'E' and 'J' blocks were demolished in summer 2006. Problems with other building projects on campus meant that the site of the former buildings laid vacant for the for almost all of the 2006/07 academic year. As a result of these delays college students were housed in other buildings around campus including Pendle's George Fox Building, Pendle Main, Graduate College and Bowland Tower. The new buildings were finally completed in time for Michaelmas term of the 2008/09 academic year. These new buildings are composed of 12 person townhouses and 8 person apartments as opposed to the corridor block arrangements of the original accommodation.
Depravo's, along with the College's offices and porters' lodge, was demolished after the graduation party for the 2007 graduates in July 2007. It was rebuilt and reopened at the start of the 2009 academic year, and stripped of its former name and mascot, renamed simply 'Grizedale Café Bar'.
