History

The college, which was formed with the hope of integrating young people from both sides of Northern Ireland's religious divide, opened in September 1991.[1] Marie Cowan was the principal when it opened[2] in the old Housing Executive offices at Limavady Road.[3] It then moved to an old red brick building at the Gransha Hospital in September 1992.[3] A new purpose-built facility, built at a cost of £9.7 million,[4] was completed in 2004.[5]

gollark: My phone still hasn't been patched for a very unspecific critical-level vulnerability in some Qualcomm "closed-source components", which is very !!FUN!!.
gollark: Computer systems, in general, are bad enough that if you don't keep up with patches ever few months your stuff is probably vulnerable to a few things, particularly old complex software like Wordpress.
gollark: It's just scanning for old poorly secured systems.
gollark: I have some config to redirect requests for `.php` to the audio stream for my "internet radio" thing.
gollark: Oh, I look at that sometimes, lots of `/cgi-bin` too.
