The Leeds Thomas Danby site, on Roundhay Road in Leeds, was known as the Thomas Danby Campus of the new college. The site was closed in September 2013[1] due to serious concerns regarding asbestos.[citation needed]
Leeds City College's new Printworks Campus, in Hunslet Road, opened in September 2013, replacing the Thomas Danby Campus.[2][3]
It was demolished in 2018 and the site is now used for commercial purposes.[citation needed]
