History
The College was formed in 1999 by a merger of York Sixth Form College and York College of Further and Higher Education (formerly York College of Art and Technology). It used to exist on two sites but has recently consolidated them into one: a major redevelopment of the former Sixth Form College site (previously home to Ashfield Secondary Modern School) began in 2005, and the new campus opened in September 2007. The other site (the former College of Further and Higher Education) has been sold off for housing; demolition began in late 2007 and was complete by April 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
