The Roundhouse

The Kirtley Building The Carriage Shop The Stephenson Building

In September 2009 Derby College was proud to open its doors to the Award Winning Roundhouse.

This stunning flagship site in the heart of the city provides leading edge vocational learning facilities which are second to none. Students can now benefit from the very latest technology in a stimulating and dynamic environment.

The Roundhouse offers 18,000 square meters of learning and teaching space, and was part of a £48 million regeneration scheme.

It has been superbly equipped for courses which include: Art and Design, Hair and Beauty, Building Services, Gas, Electric and Plumbing, Catering and Hospitality, Engineering and Welding.

This has been the most ambitious project in Derby College's history. The pioneering transformation of the once derelict grade II* building and developed impressive new buildings which perfectly complement the character of the original premises.

Part of the historic campus will also be used as a visitor centre and a social hub where people can discover more about Derby's proud industrial heritage.


The Roundhouse has facilities open to the public, such as the Engine Shed Restaurant and Sensi Hair and Beauty Salon.  It is also available to hire for events. for more information please contact the Events Management Team.
