Sutton Coldfield College is further education college and specialist sixth form centre. Its main campus is in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, England. It is one of the largest sixth form colleges in Britain. The college merged with North Birmingham College, now the Great Barr campus, on August 1, 2003,[1] and merged with Josiah Mason College (JMC) in August 2006.[2]

In 2005, the new Sixth Form Centre, designed by SMC Hickton Madeley Architects, was completed. Also recently completed is an Amenities Building and a new entrance to the Design Centre. As part of the campus, there are several 17th century buildings, including the Grade II* listed Moat House, the former home of architect William Wilson.

The college also has smaller campuses at various other locations, including two others in Sutton Coldfield with a Design Centre and an IT Centre. As well as one in Erdington and Castle Vale.

[edit] Future

Sutton College has already merged with Matthew Boulton College (though there are no signs of this, apart from the Digital Suite in MBC, opened December 2005), and will merge with Josiah Mason to become "Riverside" College, with a campus near the canal[which?] in Birmingham.[citation needed]
