On 1 August, 2008 Huddersfield Technical College changed its name to Kirklees College.
The Dewsbury centre has three campuses in and around Dewsbury. Wheelwright Campus is often referred to as "The Batley School of Art and Design". This campus is on Halifax Road, Dewsbury, about 200 yards from the main site.
A new campus is being constructed off Manchester Road, adjacent to the River Colne, just outside the Huddersfield town centre, at a projected cost of £46 million, to replace the current New North Road Campus.
