Campus Redevelopment

It is an exciting time for Northern Regional College, as we continue to make considerable progress on our £97 million capital investment project, delivering state-of-the-art campuses on the current sites in Union Street, Coleraine and Farm Lodge, Ballymena.

The countdown in on until the opening of the new Causeway Campus in Coleraine as it nears completion, with handover expected in April 2024. The campus will open on 1 August 2024 and we can’t wait to welcome students through the doors in September for the 2024/25 academic year. Ballymena follows suit in 2025 and will be open for the 2025/26 academic year. The projects are fully funded by the Department for the Economy. 

The new build projects will significantly benefit the local economy creating employment and providing innovative facilities which will increase the local skills base and attract investment and learners to the area. Throughout the project there have been opportunities not only for our learners but for local schools to engage with the project. 

There will be a series of events to open and celebrate our new campus in Coleraine, including opportunities for locals and past pupils to see around the new building, details will follow.

If you have any questions regarding our campus developments, please email communications@nrc.ac.uk. 

Refurbishment and enhancement works are also being planned for Newtownabbey and Magherafelt to improve the entire College estate as part of an agreed 10-year Estates Strategy.
