Campuses
The college has one main campus that has fifteen buildings, that were named after coastal bays in Thanet (Minnis, Pegwell, Kingsgate etc.…) but have been renamed after the values of the newly named College (Enterprise, Inspire, Achieve etc.…). The building located at the front of the site is the exception, known as ‘Yarrow’. The Yarrow building is no longer in use by the College. It was named after shipbuilder Sir Alfred Yarrow, who provided funds for the construction of the building as a children’s convalescent home in 1895. Thanet Technical College took ownership of the site in the 1950s.
Over the years, East Kent College has had a number of satellite campuses and currently runs an external construction centre located at Hornet Close in Broadstairs where construction-based vocational courses are delivered, a Business site based at Invicta Way, Manston Business Park, Manston which provides training for employers, also small outreach sites, one based at Mill Lane House in Margate as part of the Community Education programme.
