The main bulk of courses operated by Hull College in Hull, are run in the College's Tower Block building. With eight floors, the building was built in the 1950s and is an example of brutalist architecture. In 1967, the College took over the former Carthusian monastery, Hull Charterhouse, converting part of the building into an annex of the College. By 2015, the site had been relinquished. The Chesters Building, an extension of the Tower Block, houses the Learning Resource Centre and Student Support Services. There is also a smaller block situated next to the Tower Block, called The Wilberforce Building. In 2012, this building was converted to the Hull Studio School. After this closed in 2014, the building was reverted back into classrooms for FE courses.
