History
City College Coventry came about in 2002 following the 'merger' by Tile Hill College and Coventry Technical College. This followed years of financial difficulties, resignations and allegations of mismanagement at Coventry Technical College. Tile Hill College, meanwhile, was recognised as one of the best run further education colleges in the country. City College Coventry was officially launched by former Coventry teacher and Education Secretary at the time, Estelle Morris.
The college renamed its two constituent sites to The Butts Centre (Coventry Technical College) and Tile Hill Centre (Tile Hill College). The Butts site was built in 1935, while the Tile Hill Centre was built in the 1960s.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
