The two new buildings were to be used for a range of subjects including construction, art and design, media studies and photography, they were officially opened on 6 March 2008 by Sir Ian Heathcoat-Amory, a local dignitary and business leader.The findings of an Ofsted inspection in 2007 suggested that the college was making "insufficient progress", in such areas as achievements and standards, quality of provision, and leadership and management.In July 2007, it was announced that EDC was seeking a merger partner.
