Campus

The main campus building was completed in 1978 as Cumbernauld Technical College, to designs by the Glasgow architectural practice Gillespie, Kidd & Coia. The original building is category B listed.

In August 2006, Cumbernauld College completed an extensive phased refurbishment and new build programme at the main campus. A window replacement scheme, renewal of lighting and heating systems, and internal space reconfiguration compliment a new 2,250-square-metre (24,200 sq ft), three-story teaching block. Ground and first floor levels provide additional fully-equipped teaching facilities and specialist rooms for health care, travel and tourism, and art. On the third floor the Business and Conference Centre offers the wider Business Community training and conference facilities. A new front entrance, reception and internal ‘street’ (495 square metres (5,330 sq ft)) connects all buildings and provides improved access to student services and support, learning centres, library facilities and social areas, as well as a dynamic space for exhibitions, promotion and student activity.

Within the funding package, Cumbernauld College also purchased a 970-square-metre (10,400 sq ft), modern, purpose-built canal side building in Kirkintilloch to develop activities and further education (FE) provision in East Dunbartonshire. The phase development programme commenced in November 2004 at a cost of £11.6 million, with SFC funding of £5.3 million and £2.8 million from the European Regional Development Fund.
