Northern Regional College Wants You to Get in Touch

Monday

Image of new Coleraine campus

Did you ever attend Northern Regional College in Coleraine or were you ever a member of staff there? Can you recognise anyone in these photographs? If so, the College would love to hear from you. The College has embarked on an exciting multi-million-pound programme to replace its Coleraine campus at Union Street with a fantastic new building on the newly extended site. The current campus buildings, which have been at the heart of the community and a centre of learning since 1930, are scheduled for demolition later this year to make way for the state-of-the-art new campus fit for the 21st century.

But before the old buildings are razed to the ground, there will be one last chance for anyone with links to the College to take a nostalgic trip back in time.

The College will be throwing open its doors on Monday March 23 to give local people an opportunity to go on a trip down memory lane. There will be a chance to explore the former classrooms and workshops and view College memorabilia and old photos from down through the years. There will also be an opportunity to see the College’s exciting plans for the new campus.

Professor Terri Scott, Principal and Chief Executive of Northern Regional College said: “While we are very focussed on the new-build and the wonderful academic and holistic opportunities that it will bring, the campus’ rich history and its many successes should not be forgotten.

“It is important that we reflect on our shared history so I’m delighted to invite anyone who may be interested to share their photographs or stories about their time at the College and to come along to the reunion event on March 23.”

During the construction of the new campus, the College will be temporarily relocated to the former St Joseph’s College in Beresford Avenue in Coleraine which will be promoted as the campus address for all Coleraine courses from September 2020. 

The new campus is being developed with a £37m investment by the Department for the Economy.

If you have memories of attending or working at Northern Regional College (or Coleraine Technical College) or if you have any old photos that you would like to share, we would love to hear from you. Please email your photos or anecdotes to marketing@nrc.ac.uk or leave them at the Coleraine campus reception. You can also get in touch through social media using the Twitter handle @NRCCollege or on Facebook at @NorthernRegCollege.
