Selby College is located in Selby, North Yorkshire, England and has a wide catchment area mainly in North Yorkshire, but also stretching into the East Riding of Yorkshire. Selby College is an Associate College of the University of Hull, Huddersfield University and Leeds Metropolitan University, and in June 2011 completed a redevelopment programme, which involved construction of new buildings to supplement facilities.
Following the opening of the Sixth Form Academy in 2004 and the Renaissance Building in 2006, the third building, aptly named the Jubilee Building, as it was opened in the college's 25th year, welcomed its first students in January 2010. The building programme drew to a close with the completion of a new Construction and Engineering Building and an extension to the existing Renaissance Building to provide additional media facilities, including a new state-of-the-art studio. Both of these buildings opened to students in Autumn 2010, with landscaping and grounds work being completed the following summer.
