The college was formed in September 2011 by the merger of Barry College and Coleg Glan Hafren. The merger was a result of the Welsh Assembly Government encouraging colleges in Wales to collaborate so that it could maximise benefits for students.[3] Cardiff and Vale College is the largest college in Wales.[4] The college took control of the Cardiff International Sports Stadium from July 2015 on a peppercorn rent to Cardiff Council.[5]
In 2015 a new main campus costing £45 million was opened in Dumballs Road, Cardiff, to cater for 4000 students. Facilities included 130 teaching rooms, film and dance studios, a theatre, a hair salon and spa and, on the top floor, a public bar and restaurant.[6]
