The college consists of a number of campuses including Infirmary Road, Tapton House and Lockoford Lane spread over the town of Chesterfield. The college also has satellite sites in Derby, Nottingham, Manchester and Markham Vale, Chesterfield. It serves over 21,000 students of which 5,600 are full-time attends.[1] HistoryThe building where the college is on Infirmary Road started life as a cheese factory in 1841 before it became Chesterfield and Brampton Mechanics' Institute. From the late 1940s until the early 1960s the building housed all the facilities for Construction trades training up to City and Guilds Final Examinations. Similarly there were courses to Ordinary and Higher level National Certificates in Building. Later it went through various incarnations, including the merger in 1984 of Chesterfield Art College and Chesterfield College of Technology, before becoming Chesterfield College. Chesterfield College become the first Associate College of Sheffield Hallam University in 1993. Chesterfield College of Art ran independently for many years providing creative courses in a variety of subjects: Fine Art (painting and Sculpture), Graphics, Printmaking, Furniture Design, Interior Design, Exhibition Design, Townscape, Painting and Decorating, Photography, Fashion Design, Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy. It also ran courses in vehicle refinishing,industrial painting, signwriting and upholstery techniques in buildings at the Hasland site, where students attended one full day and two nights for four years. The Art College's main building was Penmore House at Hasland but other centres were at the converted flour mill on Lordsmill Street and buildings on Sheffield Road. Most courses offered a wide creative education with lessons across all disciplines for a two-year foundation course. Visiting lecturers or film histories were a weekly event as was one day dedicated to General Studies. Students were expected stay for evening classes until 7.30pm for three nights per week. At least one of those evenings had to be an attendance at the Life Drawing class. Those students who didn't move on to Diploma (then the equivalent of a degree)in Art and Design Courses (Dip. A.D.)at other colleges stayed at Chesterfield for vocational courses: courses related to the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers (now the Chartered Society of Designers) or City and Guild Diplomas. Community courses existed as did Saturday morning classes for pre-college students.
