The Whitla Hall

The Whitla Hall has been a central part of College life since the 1930s. It has seen thousands of pupils and staff take part in music and drama, daily assemblies and other events too numerous to mention. During the Second World War it was even used as a temporary refuge for people of Belfast who had lost their homes during the air-raids of the "Belfast Blitz".
