The Balliol Centre serves the majority of the college's students as the main building with 7 floors, including the main Reception and Student Advice Centre. More recently, the Pembroke Centre has been built to specialise in the training of trades, such as Joinery, Bricklaying and Electrical installation. The college's extensive programme of 'Independent Living' courses are also run at this building..[2]
The college also operates within the nearby Merton Centre site where painting and decorating courses are held. The Sixth Form Centre, located next to the main Balliol building, house the Adult Education programmes and is where the college's Student Services Manager is based.
