THE new £32million Clydebank college has been officially opened by Education Secretary Fiona Hyslop.

The three-storey facility on the banks of the River Clyde will cater for around 10,000 students.

The new college boasts science laboratories, modern engineering and construction workshops, and advanced sporting facilities.

It also includes a beauty spa, commercial hairdressing salon, conference suite and dining room.

Ms Hyslop said: "The fantastic facilities on offer at Clydebank will help even more students - of all ages - gain skills."

The move from the old address at Kilbowie Road to College Square was completed in August.

The new building was funded by the Scottish Funding Council and the European Regional Development Fund.

A special launch party with entertainment will be staged this Sunday from 12noon -5pm.
