The College worked closely with Caerphilly County Borough Council to improve the economic future of the County Borough. Building WorkThe College Ystrad Mynach underwent extensive building work to areas of its campus in recent years. 2001 – A Block{{multiple image| align = right | direction = horizontal | header = | header_align = center | header_background = | footer = | footer_align = left | footer_background = | width = | image1 = The_College_Ystrad_Mynach_1960.jpg | width1 = 143 | alt1 = | caption1 = | image2 = The_College_Ystrad_Mynach_2012.jpg | width2 = 259 | alt2 = | caption2 = }} Housing the main reception, administration offices and some teaching areas, A Block had a complete refurbishment in 2001.

With student enrolments for The College Ystrad Mynach increasing in the years before 2003, the Graddfa site provided additional space. Following months of extensive renovations to bring the site to an acceptable standard, the site was used as a teaching area from August 2003, housing GCSE, A Level, Education and Training, Languages and Art Provision. The College Ystrad Mynach acquired a grant during the renovation work to build additional changing rooms. These changing rooms serve not only The College but the numerous sports teams that use Ystrad Mynach park for activities on Saturday's and Sunday's. 2004 – D BlockA 3-storey Technology Building titled ‘D Block’ was completed in January 2004 at a cost of £2 million replacing a previous 2-storey building that had been standing since 1959.
