1. South Lanarkshire College East Kilbride

2. History o Originally known as The School of Building, Cambuslang, the College first opened its doors in August 1948 in Glasgow Road, Janebank, Cambuslang o Its main function was to provide training in construction craft skills for school leavers and young apprentices employed in the construction industry. o Strongly supported by local employers and school leavers. o In 1952, additional premises were acquired at John Street, Blantyre, which provided training mainly in trowel crafts and carpentry and joinery. o Becoming a Community College in 1983 allowed the College to offer courses other than construction and additional accommodation was found in East Kilbride o The Village Campus offers courses in accounting, business, management, office and information technology, computing, hospitality and catering, childcare and education, health care, social care and social science.

3. History and present o In the late 1980's it was decided to bring the three separate buildings housing the construction department in Cambuslang on to one site in Hamilton Road, Cambuslang. o In 1985 the Allers Campus in Calderwood, East Kilbride was opened. o In 1993 all Colleges in Scotland were made autonomous or self-governing. To ensure financial stability for the future, some buildings were sold, and some were upgraded, and the provision was consolidated in three campuses - one in Cambuslang and at the Village and Allers in East Kilbride. In 1999, it was decided to change the name of the College to reflect the wider community served by the College and the geographical diversity of the students and Cambuslang College was renamed South Lanarkshire College. o In March 2008, the students and staff moved from the three campuses - in Cambuslang and East Kilbride - to one purpose built £34 m College Campus in the Scottish Enterprise Technology Park in East Kilbride. The project has been funded with assistance from the European Regional Development Fund and the Scottish Funding Council.
